About
Auditory Processing Studio is part of Virtual Speech Center's library of over 40 speech therapy apps designed for speech-language pathologists (SLPs), schools, private practices, and parents. Focused on auditory processing skills, the app delivers structured, research-based exercises that help individuals improve their ability to interpret and process sounds and spoken language effectively. Developed by experienced speech pathologists, the app blends clinical rigor with motivational gameplay. Reward components—including puzzles, board games, and sports and carnival-themed games—keep clients engaged while targeting meaningful therapeutic outcomes. Built-in detailed reporting tools allow clinicians to monitor patient progress, track accuracy rates, and refine treatment plans accordingly. Available for iPad and iPhone, the app suits school-based therapy programs, private practice offices, and at-home sessions. Virtual Speech Center offers apps individually and in bundled packages, with select titles available free of charge to speech pathologists. Auditory Processing Studio is ideal for SLPs working with children and adults who experience difficulties with auditory discrimination, auditory memory, and functional listening. It also integrates into the broader TheraPlatform ecosystem—Virtual Speech Center's EMR, documentation, billing, and telepractice suite—enabling a seamless end-to-end clinical workflow for speech therapy professionals.
