Can I use this app at home with my child, or do I need to work with a therapist?

The Language Builder from Stages app is designed to help automate the process of Discrete Trial Training (DTT). The program provides consistent question — response — reinforcement trials with built-in prompting. You have the ability to choose the words that your child is familiar with and add words as they learn. However, a basic understanding of ABA or DTT curriculum is very useful. If you do not feel comfortable with selecting the correct word sequences for your child, it is best you consult with a trained therapist or educator.
