"It's the best app with the most flexibility I have ever used for articulation.” Suzanne Berhow, SLP “I absolutely adore the app! It is so clean and crisp, full of content and options!” Angie Gorz, Parent “All in all, a great app. ArtikPix Levels Plus is well worth the cost.” Mary Huston, SLP ArtikPix Levels is the next level articulation app! ArtikPix Levels has 3 engaging activities for students to produce their speech sounds at various levels as they swipe through flashcards, find matching pairs, and spin a wheel. In ArtikPix Levels, students can practice at the word level in the Matching activity, and they can practice at the word, phrase, sentence, and paragraph levels in the Flashcards and Pick or Spin activities. During the 3 activities, students interact with real photos from 1 or more of the following 24 decks: b, ch, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, l-blends, m, n, p, r, r-blends, s, s-blends, sh, t, th, v, w, y, z. ArtikPix Levels has a total of 1,477 possible cards across the 24 decks with an average of 62 cards per deck and 126 cards in the “r” deck. More astounding is each target has content for the word, phrase, sentence, and paragraph levels; this means it is possible to have nearly 1,500 words, 1,500 phrases, 1,500 sentences, and 1,500 paragraphs in the app! The free version of ArtikPix Levels includes the “th” deck with in-app purchases to buy individual decks or all of the decks at once. The paid version of ArtikPix Levels Plus includes all 24 decks.

Whether you are determining baselines, monitoring progress, or writing highly targeted IEP goals, the AAT Plus transforms complex speech sound data into clear, actionable clinical insights. Moving far beyond simple raw scores, this tool provides a multi-dimensional analysis of your student's speech sound production, right from your iPad. KEY CLINICAL FEATURES Comprehensive Assessment Modules Quick Consonant Screener: Rapidly assess all English consonants in initial, medial, and final positions. Full Assessment: Evaluate all consonants plus a comprehensive Vowels Analysis (Singletons, Diphthongs, Tongue Advancement/Height, and Lip Rounding). Specialized R-Screener: Tackle the complex /r/ phoneme with a dedicated module targeting prevocalic /r/, vocalic /r/ (ar, er, ear, etc.), and R-blends. Features specialized visual badging for distortions ("dis") and gliding ("gl"). Sentence Screener: Evaluate connected speech to identify coarticulation errors and patterns that only appear in continuous dialogue. Advanced Analytics Dashboard Instantly view detailed color-coded breakdowns of your student's speech sound breakdown across six critical categories: Position in Word: Initial, Medial, and Final. Manner of Articulation: Fricatives, Plosives, Nasals, Glides, etc. Place of Articulation: Bilabial, Alveolar, Velar, Palatal, etc. Voicing Features: Differentiates voiced vs. voiceless consonant accuracy. Word-Level Breakdown: A complete phonetic transcript of target words, highlighted errors, and clinical notes. Error Types & Phonological Processes: Automatically identifies active error patterns (e.g., Final Consonant Deletion, Cluster Reduction) and provides built-in developmental suppression ages. Dynamic Stimulability Testing Automatically imports all missed targets from your assessment into an interactive stimulability dashboard. Test isolated sounds and specific word positions with built-in auditory/visual modeling prompts. Watch target statuses update in real-time (Untested, Stimulable, Not Stimulable) to effortlessly select your next therapy targets. Developmental Sound Profile Instantly overlay your student's assessment data onto standard developmental acquisition norms (adapted from Sander, 1972). Perfect for parent consultations to visually demonstrate whether an error is developmentally appropriate or requires intervention.
