Using mobile devices and pads to help with speech is a fairly new process, but speech-language pathologists (SLP) know the value of using this technology. Some pathologists are developing apps for use in this market, and others are designed by parents with children who suffer from language disorders.

The following list is categorized by device, including one category that offers apps across the board, or that are not dependent on one technology to be accessible.
