QR Code Communication: How We Can Use QR Codes in Speech Therapy 

At Bjorem Speech®, we pride ourselves on developing tools that make speech therapy not only effective but also engaging and fun for children and therapists alike. Our What Sound? and Exclamatory Words decks take that commitment to the next level with an innovative feature – QR codes on each card that unlock interactive learning experiences.

What Sound? Deck

The What Sound? deck includes cards that come with a QR code leading to an interactive audio experience, making it easier than ever for children to connect sounds to images.

Why QR Codes Enhance the Learning Experience:

• Instant Audio Cues: With a quick scan of the QR code on each card, children and therapists can hear the sound associated with the image. This immediate audio reinforcement provides another way for the child to experience vocabulary, being exposed to the picture, the word, and the sound it makes. 
• Versatile Usage: The What Sound? deck is perfect for working on a range of speech and language goals, and can be fun for individual or group sessions! The QR codes provide an auditory cue that supports both structured and play-based therapy activities.
• Engaging and Fun: Children love technology, and the QR codes bring an exciting, tech-forward element to speech therapy. Whether in a clinic, school, or home setting, this feature captures attention and makes learning sounds more interactive.

Exclamatory Words Deck: 

This unique and interactive set is designed to enrich early language development through the fun and expressive power of exclamatory words such as "Yay!", "Oops!", and "Uh-oh!" These simple yet impactful words are among the first to enter a child’s vocabulary and play a crucial role in engaging their attention and fostering communication skills.

QR Codes in the Exclamatory Words Deck:

• Interactive Sound Experiences: Scanning the QR code on each card instantly plays the sound of the exclamatory word, modeled with appropriate expression. This helps children grasp not just the word itself, but how it should sound in conversation, improving both their articulation and expressive skills. These are great to use with young children working on early language skills, as they provide additional modeling to encourage the child to try the sound! 
• Tech-Enhanced Engagement: Incorporating technology keeps children engaged and adds an extra layer of interaction to your sessions. The ability to scan a QR code and immediately hear the correct sound or expression encourages independent learning while also making therapy more dynamic.

Both the What Sound? and Exclamatory Words decks offer an exciting new way to incorporate technology into your therapy sessions, making speech and language learning more engaging, interactive, and fun.
