Your free Welcome Session with a SpeechStep Coach

Not sure if your child’s speech is on track, or stuck on a waiting list? Book your free Welcome Session. Your coach reviews your child’s practice in the app, then gives you clear guidance and a simple 30-day home plan you can start today.

No obligation. Not a diagnosis or a replacement for therapy — practical guidance for parents.

Book your free Welcome Session

The call is free and the details you leave below reach us either way. Two quick steps: tell us a little about your child, then pick a time that suits you.

What you’re booking today: a free 20-minute online call with the SpeechStep team, on our general calendar — we don’t yet run a separate coach-only Welcome Session slot. Everything you tell us below is read before the call. If you’d rather we came back to you with a time instead, just fill in the details and skip the calendar; we have your notes.

Which ongoing support would you want after the Welcome Session?

This is context so we can help you, not a booking. Ongoing 1:1 coaching with SpeechStep’s own speech professionals is not open for booking yet — tell us it’s what you want and we’ll come back to you when it is. We won’t take money for it until we can actually run it. SpeechStep does not provide regulated therapy with a clinician licensed in your own country. If that’s the right next step for your child, we’ll say so and point you to your country’s own register of licensed therapists.

Tell us about your child

Two minutes now means your coach opens the call already knowing why you booked — instead of spending it on questions. You’ll pick a time on the next step.

Yours, not your child’s — we don’t need your child’s name.

Where your calendar invite goes.

An age range is enough — no birthday needed.

Optional — we’ll try to match a coach who speaks it.

Please don’t include your child’s full name or any medical record numbers. 0/500

Phone number (optional)

Only used if we can’t reach you by email about this Welcome Session — never for marketing, and never shared. Leave it blank if you’d rather stick to email.

What happens on the call

👋

A friendly, no-pressure chat

Around 20 minutes, online, with a SpeechStep Coach who has already reviewed your child’s practice in the app. We pick up from what the app is showing — not a blank page of questions.

🧭

Clear, practical guidance

We help you make sense of where your child is, whether it’s worth acting now, and what good next steps look like for your family.

🏠

A simple home-practice plan

You leave with specific things to try at home — the sounds or skills to focus on, and how SpeechStep’s daily practice can help between any professional sessions.

What the Welcome Session is — and isn’t

✓ It is

  • Parent guidance and coaching from a SpeechStep Coach
  • A clear read on your child’s speech and next steps
  • A practical home-practice plan you can start now
  • A way to use waiting-list time well

✗ It isn’t

  • A formal diagnosis or medical assessment
  • A course of regulated speech therapy
  • A replacement for a licensed SLP where one is needed
  • Any pressure to buy — it’s free

Questions parents ask

Is the Welcome Session really free?

Yes. The introductory Welcome Session is free. It’s designed to help you understand your child’s speech and decide what to do next — there’s no obligation to buy anything.

Is this a diagnosis or speech therapy?

No. The Welcome Session is guidance and coaching for parents — it is not a formal diagnosis or a course of speech therapy, and it doesn’t replace a licensed speech-language pathologist where your child needs one. If in-person assessment or therapy is the right step, we’ll help you understand that too.

Who will I talk to?

Someone from the SpeechStep team who works on children’s speech. Our speech professionals are SpeechStep’s own team — there is no directory to browse and no profiles to choose between. You tell us what you need and we match you ourselves. The session is about giving you practical direction and a plan you can start at home right away — it is parent coaching, not regulated therapy. Ongoing 1:1 coaching with SpeechStep’s own speech professionals is not open for booking yet — tell us it’s what you want and we’ll come back to you when it is. We won’t take money for it until we can actually run it. SpeechStep does not provide regulated therapy with a clinician licensed in your own country. If that’s the right next step for your child, we’ll say so and point you to your country’s own register of licensed therapists.

What if my child is on a waiting list already?

That’s one of the most common reasons parents book. We help you use the waiting time well with structured daily practice, so your child keeps making progress until their appointment comes through.

Which countries can book?

Families anywhere can book. The Welcome Session is delivered online, and because it’s parent guidance and coaching (not regulated local therapy), we can support families across the UK, US, India, Australia, Singapore and beyond.
