Question 1

How does Articulation Teacher work?

Accepted Answer

Articulation Teacher equips you with everything you need to work on your child's speech sound development at home. Each sound in the app includes:

A learning video that teaches you how to help your child with the sound, including live video of a speech therapist demonstrating the learning techniques and the cueing strategies that will be essential for your child's at-home learning.
5 detailed activities for you to read and try with your child outside of the app - these evidence-based activities promote parent-child interaction rather than screen time.
Memory, flash card, and word find games that promote repetitions on saying each sound. You can do these games with your child in the app.
Printable image and word lists that focus on initial, medial, and final sounds.

We have 20 speech sound sets available in Articulation Teacher:

Early Sounds (develop from age 1-3): B, P, M, D, T, N, and Vowels

Intermediate Sounds (develop from age 3-5): K, G, W, F, S, SH, and Multisyllabic Words

Question 3

Is Articulation Teacher meant for parents or for speech therapists?

Accepted Answer

Both parents and speech therapists can use Articulation Teacher.

Parents use the at-home activities and in-app games to increase parent-child interaction with strategic focus on whichever sounds you want to work on.

Therapists use the at-home activities and the in-app games during their therapy sessions, and can use them as a supplement to or instead of other articulation apps.

Question 4

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Download the app and you automatically get free access to one of the earliest sounds to develop: the "B" sound!

For other sounds, we offer an annual subscription to unlock everything for $2.49 per month ($29.99 billed annually) as well as individual sounds for $7.99.

Question 5

What is the difference between Articulation Teacher and SpeakEasy: Home Speech Therapy?

Accepted Answer

Articulation Teacher is created by SpeakEasy Community, the same team that created the SpeakEasy: Home Speech Therapy app.

While SpeakEasy addresses all elements of speech AND language development, including teaching you key techniques to accelerate your child's language learning, Articulation Teacher instead focuses solely on speech and articulation.

The at-home articulation activities in Articulation Teacher are the same as those in SpeakEasy, but Articulation Teacher also adds in-app games that reinforce speech practice. Because of its more targeted nature, Articulation Teacher is available at a lower cost as well.

Question 6

What's the difference between Articulation Teacher and other articulation apps?

Accepted Answer

Unlike anything else on the market (other than SpeakEasy: Home Speech Therapy), Articulation Teacher focuses on at-home speech activities to promote parent-child interaction. As a supplement to these at-home activities, we have included in-app memory, flash card, and word find games, similar to what you may find in other apps, but we believe the biggest impact on your child's learning comes from parent-child interaction rather than screen time.
