grounded in research, designed for clinical use

Spoken combines the trusted articulation hierarchy with the latest research in motor learning and contrastive phonological therapy -- helping children master sounds faster and use them in real speech sooner.

Evidence-based methods you (SLPs) know, enhanced by modern science to accelerate generalization and improve clinical outcomes.
