Behind the scenes at Chatter Labs®

About Us

We want to help children with speech impediments communicate better and engage with the rich world around them.

We are Chatter Labs

Speech therapy has been very analogue. A few apps exist — some with dubious claims about effectiveness, some effective but plain boring and very manual. We’re here to change that.

We love play

We want our games to delight children, and to make the repetitive practice of speech sounds joyful. We also want to free up time for parents — no overwhelming options to select. You could even make dinner while your child plays (or have a coffee and read a book!).

What we stand for

Innovation

We leverage the latest innovations in artificial intelligence, game-play, design and art to deliver beautiful, effective and fun experiences.

Quality

Parents trust us to help treat their child. We have a duty to honour that trust by building high-quality products.

Science

Every game is a digital version of what a speech and language pathologist might provide as home practice. Families are busy — we make sure time spent on our games is well spent.

Inclusion

Our team, our data and our worlds are built with accessibility and inclusion by design. We build in different points of view because we’re stronger together.

Helping children communicate better

We believe in the power of play

We want to help children with speech impediments find their voice, communicate better and engage with the rich world around them.

We want to transform how therapists, patients, families and educators collaborate.

We believe play is the transformative vehicle. This is why we exist.

Our Story

Why we started Chatter Labs

Chatter Labs® began because our founder, a tech mom with a busy household, had a daughter born with a cleft who had a speech impairment.

Speech and language therapy was great, but a single weekly session isn’t much to treat something so complex. The family wanted to do more speech-sound exercises at home between sessions.

Kids don’t always listen to their parents at homework time, and hers was no different. So what do kids love? Digital games — but she found no articulation games that kept her daughter interested long enough.

So, as a tech mom, she decided to build the experience she wanted for her daughter. We now want to share it with your family.

We work with these organisations
