What does this sound look like right now?

Pick a sound and an age. Get the typical acquisition window, a few elicitation cues, and a printable word list by position. For the four minutes before a session.

What this measures

Looks up acquisition age from Crowe & McLeod (2020), pulls a word list from the CMU pronouncing dictionary filtered by position, and surfaces clinician-written elicitation cues.

Where it stops

It's a quick reference, not a diagnostic. It can't tell you whether this child is stimulable for this sound — only what the typical window looks like and what cues other clinicians have used.

Why this beats asking an LLM

Ask "when do kids get /r/?" and an LLM might give you 6, 7, or 8 with equal confidence depending on the wind. The age here is sourced; the cues are vetted; the word list is the dictionary's, not invented.

Sources. Acquisition ages: Crowe & McLeod (2020). Cues are clinician-facing summaries. Related reading: Articulation & Phonology.
