Smarty Ears proudly presents the Therapy Report Center– also known as the TRC. The TRC will make app use for therapy even more efficient. The TRC is now a centralized location for students’ results from all Smarty Ears apps. This makes the process of adding students one by one to many apps a simple two-step process. In the past, if you owned 10

Smarty Ears apps, and had 40 students on your caseload, you would have to repeat the process of adding students 400 times. The TRC saves time and makes the use of the iPad even more efficient.  The second main function of TRC is to keep all of the data from all of your Smarty Ears apps organized in one place.

����� ������������

Add students one by one on the Therapy Report Center

app

How to use the Therapy Report Center:

Select grade, goals, therapy time, and other relevant

information

Add an unlimited number of students

When you buy a new Smarty Ears app, just tap to export all

players to the new app

The new app will automatically import all students into it, so

you won’t have to add one by one

Once you are done with your session, export the data back to the Therapy Report Center

TRC compiles all datas from all the apps you own in one place

and generates a report

.......................................FREE

The TRC report can be saved onto iBooks, emailed as a PDF

report, or printed from your iPad

You can also add photos and extra notes directly on each

child’s profile

management tools I’ve

seen.” Mary Huston, M.S CCC-SLP

Profile of Phonological Awareness

The Profile of Phonological Awareness (Pro-PA) was developed for the purpose of evaluating and describing the phonological awareness skills of children. Phonological awareness skills are related to speech sound and literacy development and should be assessed in children with difficulties in speech, language and/or reading (Catts, 1993; Gillon, 2002, 2005).

Dysphagia2Go guides you through the evaluation process with reminders to assess medications, cranial nerves, and all the areas on which any good dysphagia evaluation should focus. T his app provides a thorough evaluation report template developed by speech pathologists who have drawn upon their experience in varied settings to provide extensive opportunities to record chart reviews, assessment data, and recommendations in a single document, which can then be printed or emailed directly from the user’s iPad. 

ATEval2Go allows a user to utilize a multi-modal method to record information while evaluating the technology needs of a student or a classroom of students. ATEval2Go provides a guide through the evaluation process and a thorough template for technology consideration, including the ability to enter notes, pictures, and audio about environmental observations, tools already within the environment, student abilities based on targeted goals, and potential recommendations.

“Overall, I like the app for individuals that are working with school level students. It gives you a uniformed format for reports and a fast way to select what tools you are suggesting. You are

able to customize the banks quickly so you can add your own wording or special strategy. The tool allows you to capture all the information in one place and share the material with the parties that need the information in a timely

manner.” Jeannette Van Houten
