The Minimal Pairs is designed for use by individuals with developmental communication difficulties and with phonological difficulties. The app can also be used by those with dysphasia, dyslexia or dysgraphia; teachers of adult literacy; or therapists working with children who have language and literacy needs. The app can be set up by parents, teachers, and speech pathologists and can be used in both listening and practicing for speaking modes, using phrase completion tasks.

The user can choose to work on sounds at the beginning of words (such as wing and ring), the middle (open and ocean), the end (bed and bet), or in blends (such as clock compared to lock). Each task can also be modified to have the symbol and text, just the text or just the symbol. At the end of each set, the user can watch motivational videos of Dubdub and see their results. Results can be viewed and shared.

Therapy Box

Therapy Box was founded by Speech and Language Therapist Rebecca Bright and Telecoms Expert Swapnil Gadgil in 2010. Seeing a gap in the market with up and coming technology, the idea formed for a communication app and with its release to the market in 2011, Predictable came to life.

This life changing app was just the beginning of the journey. Going from strength-to-strength, the company grew very quickly and now there is a great team here in London as well as a fantastic team of developers.

Catering to a customer's needs is not just limited to the apps, providing solutions for complete assessment became necessary and the popular bundles came about, which included not only the app but hardware and accessories.

The team Therapy Box have now added a range of apps, including ChatAble, Scene & Heard as well as a range of therapy apps: Sort This Out, Minimal Pair and Odd One Out. Now with their great range of expertise, Therapy Box has started an App Development Service, giving professionals a chance to build their idea. With more apps in development than ever and people gaining awareness of AAC needs, this is a very exciting time for the industry. Here at Therapy Box we are very excited to see where the future and technology will take us next!
