Move a Child to a Different Group

Move a child to the correct group before LENA Day - dock will assign new device

1. Leave the child's device in the original room's dock.

  • Dock will unassign device after child is moved, making it available for another child.

2. Ensure an available device is plugged into the new room's dock.

  • An available, unassigned device shows "A" and a pencil icon.
  • Two unassigned devices are included in each kit. If the target room does not have any remaining extras, it is ok to borrow unassigned devices from other rooms.

3. Add child to new group. 

⚠️ To avoid creating a duplicate:
  • Search by just last name.
  • Select the correct child in the search results.
  • Click Continue to add the child to the new group.

    4. Watch for device assignment.

    • Press the wake button on the new room's dock, or simply wait up to 20 minutes, and the dock will assign an available device to the child.

    • When the child's name appears in the new group's dock, he can have a LENA Day.

     

    What happens to the original group?

    • Child list: Name is grayed out in the original group, and an icon shows the child has moved on.
      Exception: If the child never recorded in the original group, the child is completely removed.
    • Reports: Data collected while in the original group stays on the original reports. Future data counts toward the new group's reports.
    • Devices: If the child had an assigned device, the old group's dock will unassign it. The new group's dock will assign an available device.

     

    🪄 If you accidentally miss a move, LENA Support can correct the data! 🪄

    Email support@lena.org with the child's ID, the date of the recording, and the name of the group where the child was physically present on that date, and we'll fix it.
