Speak is an AAC communication app personalized for your child's diagnosis, age, and needs — with a private safety channel built in from day one.
When a child presses the Help button, they can privately tell a trusted adult outside the primary caretaker relationship what's happening — without the person in the room seeing a thing. The trusted contact gets a notification immediately. No mail app opens. No sound. Nothing visible on screen.
Every existing AAC app gives every child the same grid. Speak configures itself based on who your child actually is.
No app store. No download. Works on any device with a browser.
Core communication features are free to start. Clinics and schools get a free 30-day trial. The safety channel is free on every plan, forever.

The private safety channel is always free — on every plan, forever. Because safety should never require a subscription.

"Every existing AAC app gives every person the same grid — regardless of their diagnosis, their age, or their life. And not one of them has a private way to say I'm not safe — without the person in the room knowing."
Speak exists to fix both of those things. Built by one 18-year-old developer in Kansas, for families who deserve better.
Short updates only — new features, research updates, and the iOS app launch. No spam, ever.
The private safety channel in Speak notifies a trusted adult. In an immediate emergency, these 24/7 services are always available — free and confidential.
