Speech Garden – speech therapy games for kids Speech Garden is a playful, neon-bright speech therapy app for kids. It helps toddlers, preschoolers, and early primary children – including late talkers and autistic kids – practice real speech at home with fun, game-like exercises that listen and celebrate every word. Note: Speech Garden is a subscription-based app. An active subscription is required to access lesson content and games. A 3-day free trial is included in supported regions. What kids can practice Kids explore 20+ themed stages that mirror daily life: Simple Sounds – aaah, mmm, shhh to wake up the mouth Needs & Feelings – more, help, finished, hungry, hurt Actions – go, stop, jump, run, clap, wash Everyday Objects & At Home words Play & People, Family, Polite Words Body & Senses, Clothes & Self-Care, Food & Drinks Places & Outside, Time & Routines Describing Words, Questions & Grammar Helpers Feelings & Emotions, Fun Themes (dinosaurs, rockets, unicorns) Letters A–Z and Numbers 0–30 Speech Garden works beautifully as a speech therapy app for toddlers, home speech therapy for autistic kids, and extra practice for children with language delay or articulation goals. How Speech Garden works A friendly, kid-safe voice models each word. Your child taps the big microphone and speaks back. Built-in speech recognition listens in real time and compares the word. When it’s close enough, the screen glows, praises them, and moves to the next word. The smart matching system allows for small pronunciation errors, so kids feel successful even if speech isn’t perfect yet. It’s ideal for speech therapy homework, articulation practice, and daily language games between sessions with an SLP or therapist. Made for tiny humans (and tired parents) 600+ carefully chosen everyday words across home, school, play and routines Multiple kid-friendly voice profiles so families can choose the accent they like Bright, neon-soft color themes that keep kids engaged without overwhelming them A gentle progress tracker that shows how many words your child practices Achievement cards for new words, with a parent-locked share button for sending wins to grandparents, teachers or therapists Built-in parental gates (simple math checks) before any purchases or external links, so children cannot buy or open anything on their own If you’re searching for a speech practice app for preschoolers, speech therapy games for toddlers, or a speech pronunciation practice app for children, Speech Garden is designed for you.
