Every Child
Deserves a Voice
The Spkeasy 5,000 Voices Initiative helps provide communication tools for minimally speaking children through sponsored access to the Spkeasy platform.
The Communication Gap
Millions of children are unable to communicate because they are minimally speaking or have limited speech. Communication is fundamental to learning, connection, and independence.
Expensive Solutions
Many AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) solutions cost hundreds or thousands of dollars, making them inaccessible to families in need.
Limited Access
Access to high-quality dynamic communication tools is often restricted by geography, income, or rigid insurance approvals.
Under-resourced Schools
Schools and speech-language pathologists frequently lack the funding to provide a dedicated communication device for every child who needs one.
The Solution
Spkeasy is a communication platform designed to help minimally speaking children express themselves through beautiful symbols, dynamic phrases, and intuitive language tools.
- ✓Symbol-based grid communication
- ✓Customizable boards for any scenario
- ✓Dynamic, natural-sounding voice engines

Why We Built Spkeasy
It started with a simple idea, what if an AAC app could be more engaging for children?
With over 2 decades of experience in technology and systems integration, I saw the opportunity to bring it to life.
I took that vision, built it out, and created Spkeasy; a platform designed to make communication more natural and empowering.
Because every child deserves a way to be heard.
