These clinical best practices are drawn from SLP workflows and designed to help you get the most out of Cocovox in your therapy practice. Each tip targets a specific aspect of the clinical toolset.

Design Probes Across Word Positions

When configuring probe targets, set up phonemes across all relevant word positions (initial, medial, final) and at multiple complexity levels. This gives you a comprehensive picture of the client's abilities and ensures your data supports accurate clinical decisions. Use the probe target configuration to auto-generate stimuli at each level.

Leverage Auto-IEP Data

The IEP bridge maps exercise performance to clinical support levels automatically. Every Deep Dive exercise, probe session, and therapy activity feeds into your IEP goal tracking without manual data entry. Review the automated data regularly, but trust it to handle the routine documentation so you can focus on clinical reasoning.

Configure Dialect-Aware Settings

For each client, set the appropriate dialect and language background in their profile. This ensures the system adjusts scoring criteria and feedback to distinguish dialect differences from speech disorders. Accurate dialect configuration reduces false positives and produces more meaningful clinical data.

Use Deep Dive as Structured Therapy

Deep Dive exercises work well as structured therapy activities. The fill-in-the-blank format targets specific language structures in a controlled context, and exercises adapt difficulty based on EMA mastery scores. Assign exercises that align with your therapy targets, then review results in the clinical timeline.

Schedule Regular Probe Sessions

Consistent data collection is the foundation of evidence-based practice. Schedule probe sessions at regular intervals (weekly or biweekly) to maintain reliable trend data. The clinical timeline makes it easy to spot patterns and adjust therapy plans based on objective progress.

Export Monthly Progress Reports

Generate and export progress reports monthly, even when an IEP review is not imminent. Monthly reports create a documentation trail that makes IEP meetings more efficient and provides clear evidence of therapy effectiveness. Export formats include PDF summaries and CSV raw data for external analysis.

Use the Clinical Timeline

The clinical timeline provides a chronological view of all client data points. Use it to track trends, identify plateaus, and inform clinical decisions. Filter by activity type, date range, or target area to focus on the data that matters for your current clinical questions.
