Standardized assessment provides a limited picture of a child’s phonetic and phonemic inventory. (Elbert & Gierut, 1986). The Sunny Articulation & Phonology Test (SAPT) can be used to identify articulation errors patterns in children as well as adults, while supplementing data obtained from standardized assessments.
The Sunny Articulation Test (SAPT) is an individually administered clinical tool for screening, identification, diagnosis and follow-up evaluation of articulation skills in English speaking individuals.

Recording the errors on the Sunny Articulation Test is very simple. The green phonemes have been enabled to be clicked. Only click on the phoneme if the student has made an error.
For the screening testing once you click on the green phonemes the phoneme becomes red and it records that the student has made an error on that phoneme. If the student has produced the target word accurately proceed to following target.
The SAT was developed by Barbara Fernandes, a Trilingual Speech and Language Pathologist and Smarty Ears. The Sunny Articulation Test can be used with individuals of all age groups.

Customer Reviews
Oh no!!!
Maybe I have a glitch because I am unable to press all of the pictures to hear the correct pronunciation of the words. Also recording is cumbersome. Not what I expected for the price. Wasted moola.
Sunny Test
This test is simple and easy to use. It is portable and easy to score. Even though it is not normed, it gives a percentage score which is nice to present to parents. My only complaint is that some of the pictures are a little hard for younger children to identify.
Great App
I love using this app. Students are very motivated when using it. I love the way you score it. I always have the results at my fingertips. During therapy I can quickly go to the results if I have a question about how a student did on the test. Also, great for screening. Quick!
