Enter a Developmental Snapshot

Developmental Snapshot responses may be entered live during a caregiver interview, or taken from the printed form filled out by the caregiver.

  • in Client Manager when a child is highlighted
  • in any LENA Report view
Click Developmental Snapshot on the top navigation bar.

2. Click "Fill out Questionnaire."

Click "Fill out Questionnaire."

3. Enter the interview date, or date the paper form was completed.

The data entry date ("today") is always entered by default.  If you are working from a hard copy filled out one or more days ago, enter the questionnaire completion date to ensure accurate results.
