For grown-ups

SaySoKids is a free set of practice tools for families, including kids with apraxia (CAS). It is built to be calm and self-paced, so a child controls how fast each sound comes out.

Your privacy is simple here. No accounts, no ads, and no personal information about your child, not even a name or email. Everything stays on your device. If you ever turn on optional syncing, it copies only word lists and settings under a randomly generated code, never your recordings.

Open the parent dashboard → to see practice, streaks, and a backup of your data.

How SaySoKids supports practice → explains the simple ideas behind the tools.

These tools support practice between sessions. They do not replace a speech-language pathologist. SaySoKids was built by a parent, not a clinician. If you think your child may have apraxia, a real evaluation matters. For more about CAS, you can visit Apraxia Kids, an independent nonprofit. SaySoKids is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
