Description
Articulation Station Hive is the most comprehensive speech therapy app on the App Store. It has all the tools and activities needed to teach learners of all ages how to speak more clearly. To start with, it has 17 different activities to target speech in both consonants and vowels from the isolation level through the conversation level.
ARTICULATION STATION HIVE OFFERS:
ISOLATION ACTIVITIES:
- Hand cues provide a video model with a hand cue for each sound.
- Picture cues offer fun animated illustrations for each sound.
- Letter cues pair the letter with the sound in a playful way.
SYLLABLE ACTIVITIES:
- Syllable sliders allow learners to slide 2 sounds together to make a word.
- Syllable spinners allow learners to spin 1, 2, and 3 syllable combinations.
WORD ACTIVITIES:
- Minimal Pairs illustrate the subtle differences sounds in words make.
- Flashcards provide a quick and reliable tool for focused repetition.
- Matching games (3 levels) keep kids (and adults) engaged in the activity.
PHRASE ACTIVITIES:
- Rotating phrases allow learners to spin a lead word and a target word for a limitless number of two word combinations.
- Unique phrases are three-word descriptive phrases that are perfect for addressing both speech and language goals.
SENTENCE ACTIVITIES:
- Fixed rotating sentences are like long “carrier phrases” where the sentence stays the same and only one target word changes.
- Mixed rotating sentences mix things up. With each spin a new pronoun, verb, adjective and target word spin into position.
- Unique sentences are usually longer and at times more complex than the rotating sentences.
STORY ACTIVITIES:
- Level 1 stories are short, rhyming, and sometimes repetitive stories paired with picture prompts.
- Level 2 stories are longer stories with larger vocabulary and even more opportunities to practice the target sound.
CONVERSATION ACTIVITIES:
- Conversation scenes allow the learner to scroll from right to left to explore the scene. Speech samples can be recorded, saved and scored.
- Conversation questions offer four different types of questions.
ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES & RESOURCES:
- Phonological processes may be practiced in single words or with minimal pairs.
- Multiple sounds allow learners to practice multiple sounds at a time at the word, phrase, or sentence level.
- Custom words allow you to add images and words to help personalize the app.
- Group sessions allow you to work with groups of students up to 6 at a time. *Pro tier only.
- Themes include seasonal themes, holiday themes, just-for-fun themes, and multiple colored backgrounds. *illustrated themes are iPad only.
SCORES:
- View a summary of all your students’ sessions, and see graphs of your students’ performances on all targeted sounds.
- View session details including all the correct, approximate, and incorrect responses.
- Write and view notes, listen to recordings, and repeat sessions.
- Share progress and notes with parents or adult users.

Ratings and Reviews
Love the program, dislike the subscription.
I have been a loyal follower of this app for many years. They are easy to work with and respond to any questions I have quickly and are always so helpful.
I am very excited about their new app and used the seven day trial and as expected, I love it. They are very good to update their apps and keep them running smoothly. All the scores and information stored in one app is great and everything transferred over smoothly to the new program.
Cons are definitely the subscription. The new program in my opinion just doesn’t contain enough new material to warrant the subscription. The program can be slightly cumbersome to navigate quickly and I don’t like the new font or font size of the editable emails I send to parents with the word lists. Not as easy to read and too small compared to the other program. I also would love if there were more stories like in the stories app.
All that being said, I do love the program and the helpfulness of the programmers and the thoughtfulness that went into the app.
I also love the homework idea that was in the other review. That would be incredibly helpful if it could be added to this program.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for using our apps, and thank you for your honest and detailed review of Articulation Station Hive! We're thrilled to hear that you have enjoyed using it! Additionally, thank you for sharing your thoughts on the navigation and the font sizing in the editable email. We will take another look at these things to make sure they are behaving the way they were intended to. We will be adding additional stories to the app as we get them done too, which we are very excited about.

I LOVE THIS APP
I have been a long time fan of Articulation Station, but I have to say, the new Articulation Station Hive has everything I never knew I was missing! It offers the ability to work at every level, from isolation to conversation. The animated pictures representing various sounds are engaging and memorable (and did I mention they are animated?!?) At the syllable level, sliders give you the opportunity to walk your students through the sound blending process. New pictures and target words have been added as well as a fun new spinner sentences. One of my favorite new features is the conversation level. Beautiful picture scenes are offered with a ton of clickable pictures to give additional conversation starters. Another choice at the conversational level is an array of interesting questions such as “would you rather?” and “have you ever?” sets. For your students with phonological processes, this app has you covered because there are a ton of minimal pairs. For score reporting, there are new graph features. And as if all of this is not enough, Hive throws in a fun little extra and offers you the ability to change the app background with seasonal and holiday backgrounds. If you treat kids (older or younger) with speech sound disorders, this app is a must have!!!

Give Yourself the Gift of Time
One thing that I have learned during the pandemic is time is precious. Years ago, when I discovered Articulation Station, I sold all of my time consuming flashcards. Gone were the days of fumbling through card decks to sort targets by positions and phonological process while clients waited impatiently. My laminator gathered dust and my materials budget saw some relief because I was not constantly ordering printer ink, card stock, and laminating sheets. Then, along came Articulation Station Hive to solve for more time consuming problems. Now, my apraxia flashcards are up for sale and the only app I need for articulation, phonological, and apraxia therapy is this one. I use the app religiously in my private practice for discriminating minimal pairs; engaging syllable/ word/ phrase/ sentence/ story level stimuli; recording clients; collecting data; and motor movement practicing via syllable sliders. This new and improved app not only benefits me, but also engages clients of all ages because it’s incredibly interactive. As always, I thank these developers for making my SLP life easier, so I can spend more time practicing content and less time prepping, organizing, setting up, and packing away materials.

Thank you for your amazing review! We couldn't agree more... time and money. Articulation Station Hive will save you both! Isn't it great to be able to find whatever sounds and positions you need within seconds? It's all at your fingertips! It's wonderful to hear that your clients are more engaged when using Articulation Station Hive and we wish you (and them) continued success as they work on their goals. We hope you can find a good home for your laminator and your paper based flashcards!
