Subsidised and public options
Speech therapy at KKH and public hospitals is subsidised for Singapore citizens and PRs, accessed via a doctor’s referral to the speech-language therapy service. For younger children with developmental needs, the government-funded EIPIC programme charges means-tested fees.4,5
Subsidy vs speed
Public and subsidised routes lower the cost but can involve a referral and a wait. Many families use private sessions or daily home practice to start sooner.
Where SpeechStep fits on cost

Frequently asked questions
How much is a speech therapy session in Singapore?＋

How much does a speech assessment cost in Singapore?＋
A formal assessment is typically more than a standard session — one established clinic cites a market range of around S$250–S$850 depending on how comprehensive it is.
Is public speech therapy cheaper?＋
Yes. Speech therapy at KKH and public hospitals is subsidised for Singapore citizens and PRs, and government early-intervention (EIPIC) fees are means-tested — though a doctor’s referral and, sometimes, a wait are involved.
Can SpeechStep help my child from home?＋
Yes. SpeechStep is designed for daily home practice — your child practises target sounds, and you get simple guidance on what to focus on. It is practice, not therapy, and it does not diagnose.
Is SpeechStep a diagnosis or therapy?＋
No. SpeechStep is practice software with simple parent guidance. It does not diagnose or treat, and it does not replace a licensed speech-language pathologist where your child needs one.
What if we’re already waiting for or seeing a therapist?＋
That’s exactly where SpeechStep fits. If you’re on a waiting list, daily practice keeps your child progressing until the appointment. If you already see a therapist, SpeechStep is the practice in between the sessions, where most of the real progress happens — many therapists recommend daily home practice for exactly this reason.
