We want to help children with speech impediments communicate better and engage with the rich world around them.
Speech therapy has been very analogue. A few apps exist, some with dubious claims about effectiveness, some effective but just plain boring and very manual. We’re here to change that.
We want our speech therapy games to delight children. We want our games to make boring repetition of speech sound therapy joyful.
We want to free up time for the parents. No overwhelming options to select. You could even do dinner while your child plays (or have a coffee and read a book!).
Our team grew up playing video games, have deep experience in technology or in speech and language therapy, we want to bring the best of gaming and technology to the world of speech and language therapy.
We leverage the latest innovations in artificial intelligence, game-play, design and art to deliver beautiful, effective and fun experiences.
Parents trust us with helping treat their their child. We have a duty to honour that trust by building high quality products.
Every game is built as a digital version of evidence-based therapy techniques used in clinic. Families are busy. We want to ensure that time spent on our games treat effectively.
Our team, our data and our worlds are built with accessibility and inclusion by design. We build-in different points of view because we believe we are stronger together.
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 to accelerate speech sound disorder therapy.
We believe play is the transformative vehicle.
Chatter Labs began because our founder, a tech mom with a busy household, had a cleftie daughter with a speech impairment.
Speech and language therapy was great but a single session a week isn’t a lot to treat something so complex. The family wanted to do more speech sound exercises at home between sessions.
Kids however don’t listen to their parents when you try to do homework, right? Well her child wasn’t diffrent. So what do kids love? Digital games… but she found no speech therapy games that could keep 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 a small set of select partners that help us build, test and share the best experiences for our young players.
Our partners are experienced speech and language pathologists, game designers and researchers from top universities in healthcare, datascience and human factors.
