The founder of The Speech Wizard apps, Shawn Manvell is a licensed and practicing Speech-Language Pathologist, so he knows the value and necessity of auditory training.  Further, Manvell stated:

“Auditory discrimination skills with articulation and phonological disorders/delays are so crucial and is why I decided to include two activities just for this important and overlooked area in our Articulation app.

Auditory discrimination skills are the first component to being able to successfully remediate saying a speech sound correctly.  The child must be aware and able to listen for their target sound before we should be expecting them to be producing it.”
