WH Questions is a multi-player game designed specifically to help kids answer and ask WH questions. Children with language disorders often struggle to answer WH questions in a meaningful way1. In addition, many children with language disorders are unable to ask grammatically correct questions. Designed by a certified speech-language pathologist, WH Questions features over 400 WH opportunities to answer and ask real-world questions.
How to Play
When WH Questions first opens, the adult has the option of looking at results, starting a new game, adjusting settings, or viewing support. By tapping the “new game” button, the adult is brought to the players screen. Here the adult can select a current student or add a new student. WH Questions is fully compatible with the Therapy Report Center (TRC) which allows the adult to import students from the TRC and export data to TRC for easy report writing.
After the players are selected, the adult must select what type of WH questions should be asked. Questions available include: Why, How, Where, Who, When, and What. Because WH Questions is a multi-player game, the adult must choose the type of questions for each student by simply touching the appropriate box.
Once the questions are selected, play begins. The picture stimulus is shown with the WH Question posed at the top of the page and an audio recording asks the question. At the top of the page is a record button which allows the student to record his or her answers. A play button is provided to allow the student to develop self-monitoring skills and determine if the answers make sense. Data is collected by clicking the appropriate square.
Alternately, if the target is for the student to ASK questions, the written questions can be removed to allow the student to ask the question. The Record button could be used to record the student asking the question instead of the answer. In this scenario, the adult would track if the target was asking or answering questions.
Data Collection
When the session is complete, a simple touch to the All Done button brings the app to the reports function. Highlighting the student’s name will bring up that student’s data. A graph is provided showing the session date, the WH Question(s) targeted, and the percent accurate. The squares are colored coded to indicate accuracy: green 80% or better, pink under 80%, white not addressed that session.
WH Questions data collection reports can be exported to The Therapy Report Center for easy progress monitoring and report writing.
Customization
WH Questions has a settings button accessible from the home page. Customization allows the adult to tailor WH Questions for the child’s specific needs.
•Randomize Questions. By selecting OFF the questions will finish one type of WH question before moving to the next.

•Display written questions. Selecting OFF removes the written question from the picture. This is perfect for working with students who are working on attending to auditory stimuli or whose goal is to ask questions.

•Transition sounds. Allows the adult to determine if there is auditory feedback between questions.

•Number of questions per student. At times, the adult may want to ask more than one question for each student. Selecting the number of questions per student is ideal for increasing the number of opportunities per student between turns.

Disappointing!

As a speech-language pathologist myself, I find this application very disappointing and not worth the $11.99 I spent. There are odd choices for pictures, no voice output, and varying responses that do not make sense to students. In addition, the link to the WHQuestions support web site is invalid. I think with a number of changes- this app could be helpful.

Nice replacement

I am so glad to have seen this booth at TSHA!I love that Smarty Ears is developing Apps for SLPs! This app is nice...and it deserves the credit even just for thinking about it! Great idea!

Great Concept!

We are so happy to see an app like Wh questions. This is such an important language concept and parents and SLPs needs tools at their finger tips. I hope there are future versions that allow the client to be more independent with the app!

Needs some work

It is ok. Pictures are not good choices and dont like the big x when wrong. Where are the "when" questions. Should have been $4.99 for this app.

Bad idea, very bad execution. Useless even if its free

This is another wannabe, expensive application that does nothing valuable. Just cannot justify using it even if its free. The questions are poorly designed, and no guidance to use them properly whatsoever. Or: You could cut a few pieces of pictures and achieve the same function. Why pay $14 for this????

Not so great for the $$$

As an SLP who looked forward to using this app with my students I was very disappointed to see how poorly designed it was. Especially for paying $13.99! For some questions there arent even multiple choice answers given. Question formats are not consistent and content is lacking. I dont recommend this at all.
