Running Articulation Screenings

How to screen sounds and interpret recommendations.

Starting a screening:

1. Open a student's profile

2. Tap Screening (or go to the Screening tab)

3. Enter the student's age

4. Tap Start Screening

During the screening:

- Each card shows a target word with a picture

- Listen to the student's production

- Score as: Correct (C), Distorted (D), Substituted (S), or Omitted (O)

- For substitutions, note what the student said instead

After the screening:

- View the Sound Inventory β€” which sounds are correct in each position

- See Recommendations ranked by priority (High, Medium, Low)

- Recommendations are based on developmental norms (McLeod & Crowe 2018)

- Export a PDF screening report to share with parents or file in records

Understanding recommendations:

- High priority: Sound is significantly delayed β€” consider targeting in therapy

- Medium priority: Sound is emerging but may benefit from intervention

- Low priority: Sound is age-appropriate or expected to develop soon
