Minimal Pairs Therapy for parents, SLPs and teachers

Minimal pairs therapy is a specific speech therapy approach for children with speech delays or disorders. It effectively helps young learners pronounce speech sounds correctly using minimal pairs—words that differ by only one sound, such as 'tea' and 'key'.

 

During therapy, children engage in listening and speaking exercises, where they practice pairs of words (minimal pairs). Each pair includes a target sound they need to master and a similar sound they typically substitute the target sound with (for example, practicing T/K pairs if they usually say 'tea' when they mean 'key').

 

This method is particularly effective for children who mix up similar sounds, essential for clear and accurate speech. The Minimal Pairs Arcade app incorporates this proven approach into interactive speech therapy games, making the learning process both enjoyable and effective

WHAT
others say about Minimal Pairs Arcade

​

Minimal Pairs Arcade Lite brings the evidence-based minimal pairs therapy approach into a fun and engaging app. With a wide choice of activities to keep children interested and engaged, this app is a welcome addition to the excellent range offered by Aptus. The Lite version allows you to trial all the activities - I highly recommend the full version which offers all speech sounds for a one-off purchase (no ads or subscriptions).

As an SLT, I recommend this app to all my clients and constantly receive positive feedback from parents that speech homework is much easier to complete with the fun and interactive activities. (App Store review)
