About Smarty Ears
Smarty Ears was founded in December of 2009 by Barbara Fernandes, Speech-Language Pathologist certified by the American Speech, Language and Hearing Association. It was the first company to create apps geared towards speech therapy for mobile devices. Smarty Ears’ first application, now called Articulate Plus, was released in January of 2010 and it has helped many speech therapists to make sessions more dynamic and engaging. Since then, Smarty Ears has released over 60 apps for iPads and iPhones and a web based platform called Smarty Ears Online.
At Smarty Ears we believe technology can help parents and speech-language pathologists improve the communication and comprehension skills of children with speech and language difficulties. Smarty Ears brought to the world a whole new concept of how children will practice their skills. Technology is everywhere, how can we expect children to engage in worksheets and paper flashcards.
The new technology enabled us to deliver fun apps for communication fluency that can be used by parents, teachers and therapists all with one goal: help to meet the needs of every student with communication disorders. Several of our applications bring solutions that are not only much more affordable to clinicians, parents, teachers and school districts but are also very intuitive and easy to customize. This way we know everyone will be able to use it.
Smarty Ears is committed to making sure our solutions can support individuals in languages other than English. Our solutions are available in as many languages. Our comprehensive platform, Smarty Ears Online, includes state-of-the-art multilingual support for emergent bilingual students.
Our team would be happy to discuss partnership opportunities with you.
