Do we need to install any special software?

Nope! The Everyday Speech Social-Emotional Learning Platform (SLP) runs entirely in a web browser so there is nothing to install. 


However, if you are in a school district, please ask your IT department to unblock "everydayspeech.com, cloudinary.com, and all subdomains". Unblocking our website also ensures that none of our site elements are being blocked, which can affect your experience with the website. 


If you are using an iPad, we recommend downloading our dedicated iPad app for the best experience. 


What are the technology requirements to access the Social-Emotional Learning Platform?

Network

If you are on a public network (school, workplace, etc.) please ask your IT department to unblock the domain and subdomains of "everydayspeech.com" and "cloudinary.com", as our site elements and emails may be filtered by your school's firewall. 


Desktop/Laptop

The Everyday Speech Social Learning Platform (SLP) runs entirely in a web browser. For the best viewing experience, we recommend using any modern browser such as Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. 


iPad

We have a dedicated iPad app that you can download here: Social Learning Platform (SLP)


Please note that in order for the iPad app to run, you must be on iOS 12.2 or higher. If you aren't on the latest iOS version yet, please update your firmware before downloading the app.


Can the materials be viewed offline?

Due to copyright and licensing concerns, only the printable worksheets can be downloaded for offline use when using the web-based version of the Social-Emotional Learning Platform. The videos and games require an internet connection when they are being used. 


Using our iPad app, you can select videos to save for offline viewing. While it requires an internet connection to select and download the videos for offline viewing, once they are downloaded they can be accessed at any time (no internet required).

Can I use Everyday Speech in Teletherapy?

Yes, you can certainly incorporate Everyday Speech in your teletherapy practice! In fact, many telepractice clinicians utilize our materials.  


We suggest sharing your screen to play videos or to go through digital activities like worksheets with your students. All printable materials are downloadable as well, which allows you to download materials ahead of time to share with your students. Be sure to allow audio settings so your students can hear the sounds of video lessons and games on their end. If you’re able to share control of the mouse, that may be useful in certain cases too. If you cannot share mouse control, we suggest using this as opportunities to work on expressive language or functional communication by having your student direct you through games!

Can I use the Social Learning Platform with Google Classroom or similar E-Learning tools?
The Social-Emotional Learning Platform is browser-based, which means that it runs on a standard web browser, and needs no installation of any special programs. You should have no problems with sharing the materials through your desired e-learning platform.
