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
Progress needs frequent practice — which is costly if every repetition is a paid session. SpeechStep gives your child daily practice at home for a fixed low price, so professional sessions can focus on expert guidance.
SpeechStep comes in two parts. The app is your child’s daily practice — a one-time price, not a monthly bill: SpeechStep Practice (1,000+ words, daily practice) is about S$39 and SpeechStep AI (instant AI feedback on every sound, progress tracking, parent dashboard) is about S$79 on the App Store or Google Play. The exact local price is confirmed at checkout. You can also book a free Welcome Session with a SpeechStep Coach today and continue with affordable ongoing 1:1 coaching (available now, arranged after your Welcome Session); local licensed therapists in your own country are coming soon in most markets, and already available in India.

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 with instant feedback, and you get simple guidance on what to focus on. You can also book a free online Welcome Session with a SpeechStep Coach to plan the right next steps.
Is the Welcome Session a diagnosis or therapy?＋
No. It is free parent guidance and coaching — a SpeechStep Coach helps you understand your child’s speech and gives you a practical home plan. It is not a formal diagnosis and does not replace a licensed speech-language pathologist where one is needed.
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.
How much does SpeechStep cost?＋
The app is free to start, and unlocking more is a one-time launch price — not a monthly subscription. SpeechStep Practice adds 1,000+ practice words and daily practice; SpeechStep AI adds instant AI feedback on every sound, progress tracking, and a parent dashboard. You’ll see your exact local price at checkout. The initial Welcome Session is free, and affordable ongoing 1:1 coaching with our speech professionals is available now (arranged after your Welcome Session); local licensed therapists in your own country are coming soon in most markets (already available in India).
Can I work with a real speech professional too?＋
Yes. Start with a free Welcome Session with one of our SpeechStep Coaches — that’s available today. For ongoing 1:1 help you have two options: (1) the SpeechStep Network — affordable, English-speaking speech coaching at one simple price, available now and arranged with you after your Welcome Session; and (2) local licensed therapists in your own country for local clinical care, available in India today and coming soon in most other markets.
