Hi. My name is Patti Hamaguchi.
I'm a
speech-language pathologist and I design and create the apps for Hamaguchi Apps, along with a talented team of
animators, programmers, voice talent, and illustrators. We use cutting-edge technology to motivate and inspire children to
develop their communication skills by playing games that focus on speech, language and auditory development. They are designed to be used either by a professional as part of a therapy program or at home, on the road or anywhere your child wants to play! |
A little bit about Patti Hamaguchi:
Patti has been a speech-language pathologist for over 30 years, and has a pediatric speech therapy practice in Cupertino, CA. Along the way, she has written several books, including Childhood Speech, Language & Listening Problems: What Every Parent Should Know, which is now in its 3rd edition since 1995 and published in several languages around the world, as well as It's Time to Listen (ProEdinc.com) and A Metacognitive Program for Treating Auditory Processing Problems in Children (ProEdinc.com). Currently, she writes a column for Autism Bay Area, and is a panel expert on BabyCenter.com. Patti has two children who are now teens, and is married to Norihito. (Yes, that's where the "Hamaguchi" comes from)
What makes our apps unique?
Our designs are:
- Some are specifically designed for children who would benefit from additional practice in their speech, language or auditory development and are more therapeutic in nature (e.g. Picture the Sentence)
- Some are appropriate for any child and are just plain fun! (e.g Fun with Directions)
- Affordable ($15.99 or less!)
- Engaging and fun
- Colorful and expertly drawn by top animators
- Highly interactive! (Including animation clips and games)
What got us started on this journey?
When the parents at our speech therapy practice began asking us for recommendations for apps that would help develop their children's speech, listening and language, we searched high and low in the Apple App store, at conferences and on listserves, but found there were very few apps that were designed for this purpose. While we found lots of fun "games" or static picture cards, we grew frustrated with what was obviously a very large untapped resource to help children learn. Traditional software was prohibitively expensive, often ranging into hundreds of dollars for a single program. Wouldn't it be great if there were actual games that did what we needed them to do for both the iPad and iPhone? Animation clips instead of frozen picture cards? A way to record and play back children's language productions? A way to make learning language FUN? Most importantly, wouldn't it be great if this technology was affordable? With this quest in mind, Hamaguchi Apps was born in 2011.
We bring studio audio quality, professional artwork, creativity, innovation, and state of the art technology to our apps. We hope you and your child enjoy them!
What are parents and professionals saying about our apps?
"These are the BEST apps for speech therapy! I can use them with so many of the kids on my caseload!" (Speech Pathologist)
"These are great apps to develop speech in my son with autism. He loves the games and hearing his voice. He is finally starting to put phrases together!" (Mom--referencing the 'First Phrases' app)
Touch. Play. Learn. Smile :)
