SpeechStep for Singapore Families: Parent-Guided Daily Speech Practice

✓ Sources cited belowLast updated July 23, 2026

Want to support your child’s speech every day, not just in weekly sessions? SpeechStep gives your child AI-guided daily practice with simple parent guidance. Modern, structured, and designed to fit a busy Singapore family. It works alongside your child’s speech-language therapist, never in place of one.

Start daily practice at home — free

Guided practice runs in your browser with a free parent account. SpeechStep is practice, not therapy: if your child may need a therapist, your country’s register of licensed professionals is the place to start.

Weekly sessions aren’t enough on their own

Singapore parents are used to investing in their children’s development — but a speech session once a week, private or subsidised, still leaves most of the week without practice. And where families wait for a subsidised place, that gap can last months.2

How SpeechStep fits into your week

Helping children speak with confidence through daily AI-guided speech practice — the practice your child does at home between (or while waiting for) professional support.

  1. 1Your child practises their target sounds daily — a few focused minutes on a normal phone.
  2. 2They get instant, gentle feedback on how each sound was said.
  3. 3You get simple coaching on what to work on, in plain language.
  4. 4You track progress and bring it back to your therapist.

Alongside an AHPC-registered therapist

SpeechStep reinforces what your child works on in therapy. It doesn’t replace a registered speech-language therapist — look for AHPC registration when choosing one — it makes the practice in between count.

What it costs

The SpeechStep app — daily practice with AI feedback on the R sound and listen-and-compare for the others — is coming soon to the App Store and Google Play, and you can ask us to tell you the moment it lands. You do not have to wait for it: free guided practice runs in your browser today with a free parent account. SpeechStep does not offer one-to-one sessions with its own speech professionals. SpeechStep does not provide regulated therapy with a clinician licensed in your country. If your child may need therapy, your country’s own register of licensed therapists is the place to find one.

Frequently asked questions

Is SpeechStep a replacement for a speech therapist?+

No. SpeechStep is daily practice and parent guidance. It doesn’t diagnose or treat and doesn’t replace an AHPC-registered speech-language therapist — it complements professional therapy and makes the days in between count.

Can we start SpeechStep while waiting for a place?+

Yes. It gives your child structured daily practice and you a plan for right now, whether you’re waiting for a subsidised place or topping up private sessions.

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.

How much does SpeechStep cost?+

Free practice runs in your browser today with a free parent account — you can start with your child right now, at no cost. The SpeechStep app (daily practice with AI feedback on the R sound, progress tracking and a parent dashboard) is coming soon to the App Store and Google Play; we’ll publish the price when it launches and you can ask us to notify you. SpeechStep does not offer one-to-one sessions with its own speech professionals. SpeechStep does not provide regulated therapy with a clinician licensed in your country. If your child may need therapy, your country’s own register of licensed therapists is the place to find one.

Can I work with a real speech professional too?+

Yes — with your own. 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 does not offer one-to-one sessions with its own speech professionals. SpeechStep does not provide regulated therapy with a clinician licensed in your country. If your child may need therapy, your country’s own register of licensed therapists is the place to find one. Your practice and progress stay in SpeechStep either way.
