Take control of your child’s development and enhance their language environment
LENA provides you with accurate and critical information about your child’s language environment.
The Developmental Snapshot allows you to measure and track your child’s development on a monthly basis so you can track your child’s progress and always know how well he or she is doing.
The LENA Digital Language Processor (DLP) can capture up to 16 hours of your child's language environment. It's compact size allows it to fit snugly into the front pocket of your child’s LENA clothing. Using optimal acoustic quality, it collects the sounds and words that your child says and hears.
The LENA software analyzes this data, generating easy-to-read reports so you can track your child’s development. These reports let you see adult word count, as well as conversational turns — those moments when you speak to your child and your child responds, and vice versa.
