Getting Started Guide for Parents/Caregivers: Let’s Start Practicing! 🎉
Awesome job finishing up your registration! That was easy, right? Now that you’re all set, your child’s speech-language pathologist has been notified and can start sending you home practice assignments. Here’s what happens next:
Step 1: Keep an Eye Out for the Homework Email 📧
- Your next step is to wait for an email from your child’s speech therapist with their first homework assignment.
- The email will have everything you need to get started!
Step 2: Download the App 📱
Decide where you want to practice—on your phone, tablet, or computer!
- If you’re using a mobile device (like a phone or tablet):
- Head to your device’s app store and search for **“At Home Articulation”**.
- Apple Users: App Store Link - At Home Articulation
- Android Users: Google Play Store Link - At Home Articulation
- Quick Tip: Download the app and log in with the same email and password you used during registration.
Step 3: Open the Homework Email 📬
Look out for an email titled “Speech Homework for [Your Child’s First Name]”.
- In this email, you’ll see:
- The sound, word position, and level your child will be practicing.
- There may be a light blue message box with extra tips, instructions, or words of encouragement from your child’s speech therapist.
- Links to start practicing on a computer or mobile device
Step 4: Get Ready to Practice! 🎮
You can practice on a computer or a mobile device—your choice! Clicking the link in the homework email will take you right to the Game Menu.
Navigating the Game Menu:
- If you used the link from the email, the sound, word position, and level will already be selected for you. Easy peasy!
- Just pick a game from the menu and click “Let’s Play!” 🕹️
Important Note: It’s critical that you do not practice the wrong sound with your child. Make sure that the sound selected is the sound that was sent by your child’s speech therapist.
Step 5: Have Fun Practicing! 🥳
Each game includes helpful tips and tricks for making the sound correctly, plus a mini-video tutorial to guide you along.
You’re all set! Enjoy practicing together, and watch your child’s progress soar! 🌟
