Play

The client will hear and/or see a stimulus at the top of the screen. Notice the details of the stimulus. In a future update, the stimulus will appear for a pre-determined amount of time then disappear. (The clinician will choose a tempo appropriate for each client.) The client will try to match the stimulus and choose the answer from the bottom row of possible answers. You can either drag the top item to the matching item in the bottom row or click on the item in the bottom row.
