Frequently asked questions

Is this printable really free?

Yes. Download it, print it, copy it for a whole caseload. No email address, no account, no watermark.

What is on the answer ladder?

1 US Letter page: eight questions with a picture each; one-word, phrase and sentence answers side by side; a tick box on every rung.

Will it print in black and white?

It will. There are no filled backgrounds, so a school copier costs you the same ink as a blank page. Colour is a bonus, not a requirement.

How long should we spend on it?

This is a page to return to, not to finish.

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.
