Scaffolding is used by speech and language pathologists to help people learn incrementally. This increases motivation and helps build consistency.

Fluent speech, communication style, and naturalness of speech are really what the helpers are listening for.

This gives a snapshot of your performance and shows all the words you spoke correctly or which ones needed some extra help.

United StatesA life changing game
As a person who stutters this game is life changing. I’ve gone through multiple speech therapist and have never found something as effective as playing this game. The techniques are immediately applicable to real world situations and get to see tangible results from your practice in game. While targeted towards children this app is truly for anyone who stutters. I can’t recommend it enough.
United StatesBest speech game ever!
Oh my gosh, as a busy mom, I hardly have time to breathe let alone write reviews. But I had to take a minute to share how much my daughter and I love Fluency Friends! My daughter has made amazing progress so far and I can tell she’s feeling better about speaking. She used to be really nervous with her stuttering and would always be self conscious about her stutter. This game app has turned what would be practice/homework into something that's fun and engaging. My daughter typically gets 15 minutes of practice in a therapy session but with this app, she sometimes plays for a whole hour. I think the game portion was done with a lot of heart. I can see her face light up with the characters and she loves the story so far. The app also have these reports that have been such a game changer for us. It's helpful to have an easy look at how she's been progressing and share them with our speech therapist. Honestly, I'm blown away by how much this app has helped us in such a short amount of time. I’m so thankful that I found out about this app on Instagram. If you're a busy parent like me, I highly recommend giving it a try!
