Speech Therapy - Mio 4+

This application was recommended to me by my speech therapist.
In order for the child to do the exercises given by our speech therapist in an interactive way. At first, I was skeptical of this and thought that we will do exercises without app. But my child is very hyperactive and didn’t want to repeat after me. But when he sees other children do exercises in the app he repeats enthusiastically. I liked how the exercises are sorted and we play 2 levels every day, it is 6 exercises. We are already at level 30 and I can see that my child has got better control of his tongue and cheeks. These exercises help him to pronounce words better. At the first level, he could not pronounce the word “computer”, and now he speaks the word as an adult. Thanks for such a great app.

Thank you for your re­view!

We are very glad that you like the app. In order to make a high-quality application, we have analyzed children's interactions with our application. We collected information from leading speech therapists. This made us aware that children subconsciously replicate other children's facial expressions. We have developed a unique program with pronunciation exercises for children. With each level, there are specially selected exercises that alternately develop the muscles of the tongue, the cheeks and jaws.
We congratulate you on reaching the 30th level. This is half of the ideal result. We hope as you reach the 100th level your child will speak very purely as an adult. We want to hear more of your feedback in the email about recognition and animation? What exercises do your child like best?
We also recommend using stickers in the message. Expect new app updates. Every time we want to add something new and exciting for the development of children. And your feedback helps us a lot. Thank you for new interesting ideas and stories about your experience using our app.

We try to do every­thing to make the ap­pli­ca­tion be use­ful for chil­dren.
If you have any ad­vice you can con­tact us by email info@mi­o­gym.­com and we will dis­cuss them in more de­tail.

Thank you!

I am a licensed speech language pathologist and YOU SHOULD NOT GET THIS APP!!!! This app uses non speech oral motor exercise (i.e., a technique that does not require a child to produce a sound) which are unethical and SHOULD NOT BE DONE. There is countless articles and literature that state explicitly why these exercise are counterproductive and not an appropriate treatment for speech sound errors! Just google “non speech oral motor exercises” and the top results will be articles discussing why these strategies are not recommended. Do not fool yourself into thinking moving your jaw around, blowing, or sticking out your tongue will improve your child’s articulation or speech production. If you’re working on imitation skills, fine go ahead, BUT DO NOT USE THESE EXERCISES FOR ARTICULATION OR PHONOLOGICAL THERAPY!!! Furthermore, the app is highly inaccurate! It wasn’t even directed at my face and it gave me credit. This could help your child practice things INACCURATELY and could further impede your practice. Go to a licensed speech therapist that does their research and stay away from apps like this!

Thank you for your re­view!
Our application has not only non speech oral motor exercises but also speech exercises.
The article notes that «Between 71.5% and 85% of practicing clinicians use some type of NSOMEs in therapy to change children's speech productions». Miogym app is an additional tool to improve the result of speech therapy and it is not positioned as the main therapy.

We will be happy to discuss your opinion in more detail. Please email us at info@miogym.com

Many factors affect the quality of recognition of an exercise. We had 2 versions of the application on the developing stage with different recognition configs. We gave them to the kids and watched them use different versions. One version of the application was completely controlled by recognition and the other was partially controlled. Most children could not perform the exercises correctly. And because of this, they were very upset and quickly lost interest in these exercises when the game was fully dependent on recognition.  Therefore, we have developed an algorithm that helps children do exercises without losing interest in doing them.

I have a 4-year-old son, and we've been struggling with speech, especially with word endings. I found this app, and it turned out to be a perfect fit for him. One of the best things is that right after downloading, you can take a short survey to choose exercises tailored to your child.
By the way, the app also has great puzzles and songs. It's colorful and very engaging for kids. I highly recommend it to all parents!

Thank you for your wonderful review!

We are thrilled that our app has become a useful tool for your son and has helped with his speech development, especially with word endings. We strive to create a product that supports children in their development, and feedback like yours confirms that we are on the right track.

We’re also very glad that you highlighted the ability to customize exercises based on your child’s needs after completing the short survey—this allows us to make learning as effective and convenient as possible for each child. It’s great to hear that our puzzles, songs, and vibrant interface engage children and make learning fun and exciting!

Thank you so much for recommending us to other parents! We hope the app continues to help your son and brings joy to the learning process. If you have any questions or suggestions for improvement, feel free to reach out to us.
