Speech Sound Assessment For Parents

Are you concerned about your child’s speech?
Are you wondering if they have all the sounds they should have for their age?
Are you worried that, compared to your friends’ children, your child might not be very clear?
How do you know if they should see a speech and language therapist?

Welcome to the Wise Old Owl Speech Assessment!

Created in the UK by a certified Speech and Language Therapist (and mother of two children) currently working in the NHS, this test has been developed especially to answer all of those questions.

This is an easy speech sound assessment which instantly analyses the data and recommends whether further assessment is needed by a speech and language therapist or whether your child’s speech sounds are where they should be for their age. Your child will have so much fun swiping though all the pictures that they won’t even realise they are being assessed!

Features of parent version:
-no confusing speech and language therapy jargon
-with an easy tap, you can mark a substitution (e.g. car was said as “tar”) or simply mark that the sound was incorrect.
-an instant summary of the child’s speech sound system and whether that is developmentally appropriate for their age.
-an overview of all the sounds they can or cannot yet use.
-recommendations as to whether the child should be monitored or referred on for professional advice.
-report can be emailed to parents or other professionals.
-ability to record individual words and play back later.

We welcome all feedback as we are happy to update and improve the design of this assessment.
