Abstract
Limited empirical evidence is available for the use of iPads in speech and language therapy. To exercise evidence based methods in clinical practice, the study sought to investigate how users of the iPad integrate planning, problem solving, and reasoning skills through a series of iPad puzzle apps. By gathering data from typical users, we hoped to better understand how patients with traumatic brain injuries may use these apps to re-train executive functioning skills. Data indicated various strategies people used to plan, problem solve and reason.
