Practice, evidence and professional guidance, in one loop.

Children get better at a sound by practising it — often, and between sessions. But that practice happens at the kitchen table, in the car, before bed. The speech professional who set it rarely knows whether it happened, how it went, or whether the words were too easy or too hard.

SpeechStep makes that practice daily, keeps the evidence, and puts it in front of the person who needs to see it — so the next session starts from what actually happened at home.

Instant feedback on the R sound, and listen-and-compare on every word. Instant feedback is a clear or a keep-practising after each word.

Everywhere else, SpeechStep doesn’t guess. Your child hears a clear example of the word, says it, and plays their own try back beside it. Learning to hear the difference is part of the practice.

And people stay in the loop. When your SLP reviews a recording, their judgement is the one you see, whatever the automatic feedback said.

Our team builds and reviews SpeechStep’s practice content, reference recordings, and feedback systems. SpeechStep is a practice and support tool, not a replacement for therapy from a licensed speech-language professional.

SpeechStep is a small, early-stage company, and we would rather tell you exactly what we do today than describe a service we don’t run.

SpeechStep works with the speech-language pathologist your family already sees. You invite them, or they invite you — nothing is shared until you both agree, and you can disconnect at any time.

SpeechStep has no SLP directory and does not match families with outside clinicians. If you don’t have an SLP, you can ask our team to look at your child’s practice.
