  • Manner
  • Voicing

  1. Pam Norton

    Hi, I have a question about re-testing a student. I tested the student in October and just tested him again but I can’t find the second assessment. When I click to preview, I get the results from October. Can you help?

    • Ellen Kester

      Hi Pam,
      It should show up as two separate administrations on your screen. I’ll send you a picture of what it should look like. If it doesn’t look that way, reach out to Smarty Ears. They can help you with the technical side of the app. support@smartyears.com

    I just finished my first assessment on the app. After selecting “Share” and then “Email Report” I received an error message in the app to “Please add an email account”. Unfortunately, I do not see a place to put this information. Any guidance would be appreciated!

      Hi Karissa,

      Your email address is not set up to the device you are using. You need to go under your “Settings.” Then, go to the “Mail, Contacts, Calendar” tab. Then, click on “Add Account”. This is where you can add your email account. Once you do that, go back to the app. Go to the student, select “Share” and then “Email report,” and your email should be one of the options available. Then, voila! You will get your entire report sent to you. Please reach out if it does not work.

    Is there a way to save a test so that you can go back and continue the administration later??

    • Scott Prath

      Hi Krysta, Yes, to access a test you didn’t finish you just hit Home and then when you go back into the student’s test it will pick up where they left off.

      We talk about it in a conversation with Barbara Fernandez of Smarty Ears if you want to see an example. Go to our Teletherapy Assessment Page and scroll down to the video: Teletherapy Articulation Assessment

    Hi!

    • Scott Prath

      Hi Carmen,
      Absolutely. We standardized three data sets: Spanish, Bilingual, and English.

    Where can I find the validity and reliability of this test>

    • Ellen Kester

      Hey April, I just sent you an email.

  6. Kristen

    Do you need internet access to use test or is downloaded/stored on iPad? Thanks!

    • Scott Prath

      Hi Kristen,
      You don’t need the internet. We test out in the sticks all the time and wait to email the reports to our laptop for the reports later.

      Hi Kristen,
      BAPA and iTAP are apps that are downloaded to the iPad. You do not need internet access to administer them but you do need internet access to send the report to yourself. I do evaluations in many school districts and it is common that I do not have internet access while I am there. I administer the test and then share it via email or AirDrop once I get back to my office.

  7. Kim Graff

    Can I manually change the “date of administration?” When I went back through the test to double check everything the date changed from the original administration date.

    • Ellen Kester

      Hi Kim,
      This is something we have discussed with Smarty Ears. They should be able to answer that question: support@smartyearsapps.com

    Hello, can the BAPA be administered to children as young as 3;2?

    • Scott Prath

      Hi Amanda, yes. The BAPA was standardized on 438 children ages 3;0 to 10;11 in the Central Texas area. There are three sets of standardized scores: English only, Bilingual English, and Spanish/Bilinguals in Spanish.

  9. M. Acosta

    Hi there. I am trying to find information regarding dialectical differences and how those are addressed in scoring. Are dialectical errors counted towards the raw score when it is generated, or do therapists have to adjust the raw score and use the manual to calculate the new standard score? Thank you for any information you can provide.

    • Ellen Kester

      That’s a great question. We included information about different dialectical patterns but those are not accounted for in the scoring. Using the information provided, clinicians can make a note of the difference in the comments section if they’d like to and not mark the pattern as an error. Thanks for reaching out!
