LENA System

The LENA System (Language Environment Analysis) is an advanced tool that captures and analyzes spoken language in a person's environment, often used with young children. It uses a small, wearable device that records audio throughout the day, then software automatically identifies and counts words, adult interactions, and child vocalizations. This helps caregivers and researchers understand language richness, social engagement, and communication patterns, providing insights into language development and early intervention needs without requiring constant human observation. The system offers a practical, non-intrusive way to assess language exposure and interaction quality in real-life settings.
