Little Words: Every Voice

Little Words gives your child a patient place to be heard.

When words are hard, Buddy does not rush, grade, or give up. Buddy waits, follows your child's interests, and responds to speech, word approximations, picture choices, gestures, and essential AAC words. Every understood choice changes the play, so communication feels powerful instead of feeling like a test.

Designed for children ages 2 to 8, with support for older children. Children ages 9 and 10 can also benefit from age-respectful activities. Little Words turns everyday talking into low-pressure play. No reading is required.

WHO CAN BENEFIT

• Children who are learning to talk or want extra speaking practice
• Late talkers and children with parent- or clinician-identified speech or language delays
• Nonspeaking or minimally speaking children who use pictures or AAC
• Children practicing first words, clearer or more audible speech, pronunciation, speech sounds, or articulation
• Children working on expressive or receptive language, vocabulary, fluency, storytelling, turn-taking, or social communication
• Autistic and other neurodivergent children who benefit from predictable, sensory-aware, interest-led practice
• Families following a speech-language pathologist's plan for apraxia or other motor-speech needs, oral-motor or myofunctional goals, resonance, or other communication goals

Little Words can be used for extra practice at home or alongside a speech-language pathologist's plan. It does not evaluate, diagnose, or treat any condition. For clinical goals, ask your child's speech-language pathologist which activities, words, and routines are appropriate.

HOW IT WORKS

1. A parent creates a quick profile with the child's interests, communication priorities, communication methods, important messages, and helpful supports.
2. Your child talks and plays with Buddy through voice-first conversations, picture choices, essential AAC words, sound play, language activities, and games.
3. Buddy listens for the idea, not only perfect pronunciation. If it is unsure, it stays warm, waits, and offers one small visual choice.
4. Stop, help, again, different, all done, and other essential words remain available throughout the session.
5. Parents see what their child communicated, what helped, and one practical idea to try next, without grades or pressure.
6. Export a caregiver-owned home-practice summary to discuss with your child's care team if useful.

IMPORTANT LIMITS

Buddy is an AI character, not a person, therapist, or medical provider. Buddy can misunderstand speech because of a child's speech pattern, microphone conditions, or background noise. Session summaries describe practice; they are not clinical accuracy scores, assessments, or diagnoses. An adult should supervise, follow the child's cues, and stop if the child is tired or distressed.
