into designing my own profile out of nowhere -- assessing PA skills in children and setting goals to target these areas is something I do daily in my practice. Also, my graduate thesis was on early literacy skills, and I sit on a committee to organize a literacy workshop every year, in which I often present as well. I've read and done research in the area and I looked to current research and my experience when writing the app. App Lay Out and Functionality I worked on the concept in my head for a while but, basically, I spent the better part of 10 months writing and organizing the content of the app. THEN I wrote the app structure and lay out, which took me a month or so (working on it bit by bit and after many months of considering the app layout in my head as well). I did my mock up in Power Point, making each slide a different page from the app. This went beyond mocking up how it would look, though. I also had to think a lot about lay out and functionality in terms of navigating the app in the simplest way possible. When would I need to get to various menus and pages inside the app? When might I need to get out of them again? How will the app progress? How will I input various things such as success or failure of items, make notes about the items, or enter client names
