Question 1

What is Monster Speech?

Accepted Answer

Monster Speech is a browser arcade that a speech-language pathologist runs during a session. The therapist picks the target words, the student plays one of 45 games, and those same words turn up on prompt cards inside whichever game is running. The therapist decides when every prompt appears.

Question 2

How do target words show up during a game?

Accepted Answer

Prompt cards never open on their own. When you want one, you tap Targets on the right rail and a card slides in with the words, each paired with its own picture. Switch between words, phrases, and sentences, then close the card whenever the student is finished.

Question 3

Do I have to come up with the words myself?

Accepted Answer

No. 107 goals are already written and waiting, every target word paired with its own picture, at word, phrase, and sentence level. The library grew out of what practising SLPs asked for, so most sessions are a two-tap setup. Typing your own list is there when you want it, not because you need it.

Question 4

What speech goals can a student practice?

Accepted Answer

Articulation goals are sorted by sound and by position, so you can work a sound in the initial, medial, or final spot, or drill CVC words. There are also receptive language, expressive language, and executive function goals. Every goal comes with single words, phrases, and sentences, and you can still type your own words instead.

Question 5

Can more than one student share a session?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Up to 5 kids can share one session, and each one keeps their own goal, their own word list, and their own monster. Stars are counted for the whole team, so students cheer each other on while they take turns in the very same game.

Question 6

What happens to student data?

Accepted Answer

Student names, word lists, and scores stay inside your browser tab. They are never sent to a server, never saved to an account, and never written to long-term storage. An unfinished session can be reopened in that tab for twelve hours, then it clears itself.

Question 7

What does Monster Speech cost?

Accepted Answer

5 games are free with no account at all. A membership runs $3.99 a month or $34.99 a year and opens all 45 games, including the new ones that keep landing. One therapist login covers every student you see. There is no charge per student.

Question 8

What devices does Monster Speech run on?

Accepted Answer

It runs in a web browser, so there is nothing to download and no app store to deal with. The games are drawn for an iPad and work just as happily on a laptop or a desktop. The therapist signs in once, and the arcade is ready for the next kid.
