Questions

Questions about the activities

What ages are the activities for?

Children from birth to 3 through 12th grade, plus adults in rehabilitation (for example, aphasia). Each activity lists its age range, and you can filter the library above by grade.

Can I use Smarty Ears Online for teletherapy?

Yes. It runs in your web browser, so you can share your screen in Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet and play together. Students can also log in on their own devices.

Which activities are in Spanish?

32 activities are available in Spanish, including speech sound games such as Speech Bingo, Articulation Basketball and Sound Windows. Tick "Available in Spanish" in the library to see them all. Some activities also come in Portuguese, French or Dutch.

How is progress tracked?

As students play, their answers are saved to their goals. The progress page shows accuracy by skill, strengths and needs side by side, and a progress note you can copy into your report. You can also download a PDF report or a spreadsheet.

Can students practice at home?

Yes, with Professional Plus or a school license. Each student gets a login, no email needed: they type a username and password, or scan the QR code on their login card, and play the activities you assign. You can also email the login to a caregiver.

How is this different from the Smarty Ears apps?

The Smarty Ears apps are single iPad apps you buy one at a time. Smarty Ears Online puts 75+ activities in one subscription that works in any browser, with your caseload, goals and progress data in one place.

How do schools and districts buy Smarty Ears Online?

Enterprise Plus is priced per educator per year and can be paid by invoice or purchase order. It adds an admin account, staff collaboration on shared students and student transfers. Request a quote for your team from the district page.
