“The Timo Stories software has been a great addition to my therapeutic tool box…
It’s also a cost effective means of supporting NBLI by increasing a student's time on task in an age of extreme shortages of speech-language pathologists and the push for evidence-based practices.
“In addition, I have found that my students are highly engaged and compete amongst each other to use the software.. Given the state of the available software on the market, Animated Speech has filled a need that has been overlooked for too long.”

“I had an opportunity to try out a trial version of the software with my son at home, and he begged me to use it each day. This is the first educational/therapeutic software that he has not only been willing, but excited to play.
“Organizing and producing an answer to the simple question, "How was your day?" is difficult for my son. I look forward to the day when my son can effectively tell me about events he has experienced without stress and frustration. But most importantly, I look forward to the day when he feels good about his own abilities to communicate all that he has to say.”

“ Our center has specialized in computer-based intervention for the past 10 years. When this program arrived at our facility, the therapists vied for the rights to be the first to try the program with their students. The winner was Robin G., a professional that has worked in my practice for over 10 years. Robin initially utilized the program with Jonathon. This child has been struggling with his reading comprehension skills for quite some time.
“We are happy to report that after two weeks with Timo, Jonathon has begun to break through the language barriers that had previously inhibited his ability to absorb the important information necessary for correct comprehension. Jonathon is highly motivated to work when Timo is part of his program. During each lesson, he requests the program by name.
“The above scenario is now becoming commonplace at our therapy center. Though we are a facility that specializes in computer-based learning, even a novice will find that Team Up With Timo will be an asset and a formidable tool to add to their library of therapy tools.”
