## What is Sound Safari?

Sound Safari makes articulation therapy engaging for kids and efficient for clinicians.

Built for SLPs who want to spend less time on paperwork and more time on therapy.

PRACTICE ALL SOUNDS
Every consonant, vowel, blend, and digraph — in initial, medial, and final positions. Six practice levels from isolation to story. Seven game modes including minimal pairs, matching, spinners, and timed challenges. Adjust prompting on the fly with four levels: maximum, moderate, minimal, and independent.

AUTO-GENERATED SOAP NOTES
Session data flows directly into customizable SOAP note templates. No more rewriting the same observations. Export as PDF and share with your team.

BUILT-IN SCREENER
Run a quick articulation screening with developmental norms baked in. No separate $200 assessment app needed.

IEP GOAL BANK & TRACKING
Pre-written goal templates across 8 categories. Track percent accuracy per sound, per position, over time. Visual progress charts and PDF reports for IEP meetings.

SMART RECOMMENDATIONS
The app analyzes progress across all targets and recommends what to practice next — prioritized by accuracy, recency, and developmental norms.

HOMEWORK & PARENT PORTAL
Assign custom word lists with due dates. Parents access a free web-based portal — no app download required. Practice streaks keep families engaged between sessions.

GROUP SESSIONS
Practice with multiple students simultaneously. Individual scoring and data tracking for each student.

DESIGNED FOR THE SESSION
Safari-themed with friendly mascots for every sound. Engaging enough for kids, credible enough for your caseload documentation.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.3.4 — 2026-07-13

The biggest update yet — a full clinical screener for therapists, plus progress celebrations, homework import, and stronger security for everyone.

FULL CLINICAL ARTICULATION SCREENER (Therapist mode)
The built-in screener is now a real screening tool. Score each target correct, error (with the substitution captured), or not tested — across initial, medial, and final positions — then read a credible analysis: phonological processes auto-classified as typical, atypical, or delayed against published norms with the citation shown, and errors grouped by place and manner. Recommendations flow straight into IEP goals.
• Choose your norms: Crowe & McLeod (2020) or Iowa–Nebraska
• Inline stimulability probes — model the sound after an error, mark whether it can be imitated
• Optional per-item audio clips (stored on device, off by default)
• Redesigned setup: build any mix of sounds or start from an age-appropriate subset, with a live item count and time estimate

ON-DEVICE AI SCREENING REPORTS (Pro, iOS 26+)
Draft a clinician-ready summary, a suggested therapy plan, and a plain-language family summary from a finished screening. Everything runs on-device with Apple Intelligence — nothing is uploaded.

MASTERY MOMENTS FOR FAMILIES
Parent practice now celebrates real progress: each sound earns ladder dots and a star across word positions, milestone cards mark the wins, and a gentle weekly recap appears on the Homework tab. All of it comes from actual completed sessions — nothing to set up.

IMPORT YOUR THERAPIST'S HOMEWORK BY LINK
Paste a link your therapist shared and Sound Safari imports the assignment — custom word lists included — with a preview-and-confirm step. Results report back automatically.

STRONGER SECURITY
• Two-factor authentication with an authenticator app, backup codes, and a recovery path
• App Lock — require Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode to open Sound Safari, with auto-lock and a privacy cover
• A streamlined Data & Privacy screen with clearer retention, export, and reset controls

PLUS
Animated score rings, smoother rapid drills, livelier group sessions, and dozens of fixes — including polished Settings, easier screening age entry, and reliable 2FA code entry on iPad.
