Speech Buddies help children overcome articulation disorders – faster. Individual Speech Buddy tools are great for home practice & carryover and can help give each student a sense of "ownership" over his own therapy and progress.

Available Models   
Qty:
Whether your client is new to speech therapy, resistant to therapy, or in group therapy, Speech Buddies will complement your current practice and can help you overcome the challenges you face on a day-to-day basis.  This system will allow you to treat more clients, faster, and more effectively.

Unlike oral motor methods which focus mainly on training muscle strength during non-speech exercises, Speech Buddies work by providing targets and tactile feedback inside the mouth during actual speech.  The individual Buddies have been designed by a team or speech-language pathologists and engineers to treat target the five hardest to treat problem sounds – R, S, L, CH, and SH. 

Also, unlike most other products in the SLP toolbox, Speech Buddies are supported by rigorous clinical trials, enable carryover with online word games for home speech therapy practice, and are listed with the FDA.

Key Features:
  • Trains correct tongue placement during active speech 
  • Supported by rigorous clinical trials 
  • Research has shown that children learn an average of twice as fast with Speech Buddies.*
  • Reduce your caseload dramatically and save your district thousands
  • Improve group therapy effectiveness
  • Enable learning breakthroughs
  • Learn to use in 10 minutes
  • Online resources enable home practice and "carryover"
  • FDA listed
Proven to help children age four and older with:
  • Speech and articulation disorders of all severities and several types, including hearing impairment (with or without cochlear implants), autism spectrum disorder, or no known cause.
  • Childhood apraxia of speech
  • Acquired apraxia of speech from stroke or traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Accent modification where English sounds are misarticulated
Currently being evaluated for:
  • Speech and articulation disorders associated with neuromuscular weakness, cerebral palsy, paralysis and Down syndrome, swallowing disorders (dysphasia), and craniofacial abnormalities (cleft palate).

Designed for Speech Therapy

Although we don't like to admit it as speech therapists, sometimes we throw our hands down in frustration and have to grab a coffee stirrer or a spoon to help physically guide a patient's tongue to the right spot. I'm so happy that finally a solution exists to accomplish this task in a much more effective, consistent, and professional way. Speech Buddies also enable me to apply this method to a much larger set of sounds including the R sound, one of the trickiest to teach.

Wow!

I just tried the CH with a 5 year old who had a cleft palate repair. She was able to get the sound on the first try. I have never had anyone get a sound on the first try! It brought tears to her mother's eyes, as she watched and listened.

Effective

I have used Speech Buddies on new and treatment resistant patients, including those with articulation and phonological delays/disorders and dyspraxia and have seen great results. Several of my clients receiving accent reduction have also benefited significantly from using these tools. Preliminary evidence, as well as my own anecdotal evidence obtained using these tactile biofeedback tools, has done nothing other than begin to convince me of how effective Speech Buddies can be.
