Learning language and grammar skills can be challenging for anyone, but especially for individuals with special needs. Fortunately, there are apps like Avaz FreeSpeech available to help out!
With FreeSpeech, you can explore how tenses, sentence forms, parts of speech, and other grammatical properties change the structure of English. A neat feature of this app is that it’s all visual! Using the app is easy: simply drag and rearrange picture tiles, and FreeSpeech will convert them into a “perfectly grammatical English sentence.”
Here’s more from the App Store:
