For parents & caregivers

Your SLP sets the plan. Articu helps you follow it.

Short, guided practice at home—with the targets your child's clinician has already chosen. You do not need to decide whether every production is 'right'.

What to expect

Simple for your child. Clear for you.

What today's assignment looks like

The target sound, a few words, and roughly how long it takes. No generic course, no endless worksheet.

What your child does

Hears a model, says the word, gets friendly encouragement—and can try again without penalty.

What feedback means

Practice complete, attempts recorded, some sent for review. It never says a diagnosis or a score.

Boundaries

What feedback does not mean.

Articu is designed so that nobody at home has to be the speech judge.

Not a diagnosis

The app never tells you your child has a disorder, a severity level or a clinical score. Those are clinical judgments, made in person.

Not a test for your child

Feedback supports repetition. A 'needs review' result is information for the therapist—not a grade for your child.

Your role

How to help—without scoring every attempt.

What the therapist receives

Practice days, attempts completed and attempts sent for review—so the next session starts with context.

How to support practice

Keep sessions short, celebrate finishing, let the app handle the feedback. You don't have to correct every word.

How recordings are handled

Short recordings, used to produce feedback for the therapist, deleted by default after processing. Details on the Child Privacy page.

Parent FAQ

Questions parents ask

Should I correct my child's speech during practice?
You don't need to. The app gives child-friendly feedback and your SLP reviews what matters. Your job is encouragement and routine.
What if my child gets frustrated?
Sessions are short and can be paused. There is no streak to lose and no failing state. Let the therapist know—the plan can be adjusted.
Can I see exactly what the therapist sees?
No. You see completion and friendly summaries; clinical findings stay in the clinician's workspace.
Is my child's voice recording kept?
Raw audio is deleted by default after processing and review. Retention and training choices are described on the Child Privacy page.
Does Articu work without a clinician?
No. Articu is built for clinician-guided practice—someone qualified must set the targets. If you don't have an SLP, contact a licensed professional first.
When should I contact the SLP?
Whenever something seems off: frustration, unclear instructions, or big changes in speech. The progress view gives you context for that conversation.
