Language Empires isn't just a game—it's a targeted therapeutic tool. Developed by Speech-Language Pathologists, the app aligns with core educational standards to ensure every session moves the student closer to their IEP goals.
Our methodology is supported by research indicating that clear visual aids significantly multiply a student's level of understanding. As cited by the University of Alabama School of Medicine, visuals are essential to reinforce messages and clarify complex linguistic points.
"Clear pictures multiply the students' level of understanding of the material presented... they should be used to reinforce your message, clarify points, and create excitement." — University of Alabama, 2005.
Every session is automatically tracked to provide the evidence of progress you need for IEP meetings and professional reports.
Language Empires is built for the professional ecosystem. It is fully compatible with the Therapy Report Center (TRC), allowing you to import student profiles and export progress results in seconds.
"Maximize your productivity with 16 ready-to-print homework sheets and automatically generated certificates to celebrate every breakthrough your students achieve."
Language Empires is the result of the clinical expertise of Rosie Simms, M.S. CCC-SLP and Barbara Fernandes, M.S. CCC-SLP. Specifically designed for elementary-age students, the app utilizes a proven ancient civilizations theme to guide learners through complex language targets.
