Questions from families
Family FAQ
Clear answers about starting, practicing, reviewing sessions, and using SpeechLP alongside professional care.
What is SpeechLP?
SpeechLP is a speech therapy practice app for kids ages 2 to 9. It combines voice-controlled games with an informal speech sound screener to make articulation practice engaging, built around the practice that happens at home and between therapy sessions. It's a practice and educational support tool, not a diagnostic or treatment service.
Does my child need to be in speech therapy to use SpeechLP?
No. SpeechLP works well alongside therapy your child is already receiving, but it isn't required. You can use the games and screener on your own to support your child's speech sounds. If you have concerns about your child's speech, language, or fluency, it's worth consulting a licensed SLP.
How accurate is SpeechLP's speech recognition?
SpeechLP listens to your child during games and the screener and gives real-time, child-friendly feedback. It's a practice and screening support tool, not a diagnostic instrument, and it isn't a substitute for a full evaluation by a licensed SLP. We're continuously improving the underlying speech recognition, and we love hearing from families so we can keep making it better.
Is my child's information private and secure?
Yes. SpeechLP is HIPAA and COPPA compliant. Speech recognition runs entirely on your child’s device, and SpeechLP never uploads, stores, or shares your child’s voice or video; neither do any of our vendors or partners. SpeechLP saves only practice results (word attempted, sounds recognized, correct or not, timestamp). We do not sell personal or child data. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Will SpeechLP replace my child's speech therapist?
No. SpeechLP supports the work your child does with their SLP. It doesn't replace their evaluation, target selection, treatment planning, or direct instruction.
Can I check my child's speech sounds myself?
Yes. A caregiver can complete SpeechLP's informal speech sound screener with a child and review the results together. The screener is meant to guide practice and to surface questions worth discussing with an SLP. It does not diagnose a speech sound disorder or determine whether therapy is needed.
What ages is SpeechLP for?
SpeechLP is designed for children ages 2 to 9 who are working on speech sounds (articulation). Whether it's the right fit comes down to your child's individual abilities, not age alone, so check with a licensed SLP if you're unsure.
Is SpeechLP a good fit for my child's specific speech sounds?
SpeechLP works well for kids practicing common consonant sounds and blends, from early sounds like /p/, /b/, /m/, /t/, /d/, /k/, /g/ to trickier, later-developing sounds like /r/ and /l/. It works best for carrying over a sound your child has already had some success with in therapy, rather than introducing a brand new one. It is not yet built for lateral or interdental lisps (which need hands-on direction from an SLP). It's not designed for stuttering or broader language and social-communication goals. If you're unsure about your child's targets, a licensed SLP can help.
