Speech Kingdom helps children with speech, language, social delays and disorders. Working with SLPs, psychologists, behaviorists, therapists, special-education teachers, and parents, we have created fun, easy-to-use, interactive social exercises and skill-based games devised to improve communication. Speech Kingdom is a learning tool and is intended to be used by students in conjunction with single or multiple supervising adults, therapists or teachers. Customized student avatars, created by the student, actually put the child right into their own story. Social stories target “theory of mind” (patent pending) and are available in various stages of speech and social language development—fundamental, beginner, intermediate, and proficient—instead of age or grade level. Dozens of setting modifications are offered to tailor each experience for students of varying abilities. The application runs on virtually any device and from any browser. It’s enjoyable, and it’s easy to get started. Join us today in Speech Kingdom, the Land of Social Communication.
