Yes. Family Plus includes this PDF. Download it, print it, and use it within the plan terms.

1 US Letter page: five plain-language stages from noticing to conversation; a practical model for each stage; reminders about low-pressure practice and individual SLP guidance.

This page is meant as educational support for home practice, not a diagnosis. It's not a medical device, not a replacement for AAC, and not a substitute for a licensed speech-language pathologist, pediatrician, early intervention program, or school evaluation team. If you have concerns about your child's speech, the right next step is a conversation with a qualified professional who can actually see and hear your child.
