Start with what your child needs today. Add more when they are ready.

Designed especially for children ages 3–14, with simple picture choices for early communication and expanded tools for older children depending on the child’s communication needs, comfort with the app, and adult support.

Everyday expression

Start small without staying stuck

A child may need help with a feeling, refusal, break, school need, choice, or thought. Talki Kids helps adults begin with what is manageable and keep room for communication to grow.

Start with today

Use Starter Level and visibility choices to begin with what your child needs most right now, then add more when they are ready.

Calm the board without deleting

Hide or show full categories and individual tiles. Hidden items are not deleted and can come back later.

Use familiar pictures

Add your own tile pictures or replace existing images where supported, using real people, places, routines, school items, and comfort objects.

More than requesting

Support needs, feelings, choices, refusals, school messages, social phrases, thoughts, pain or discomfort, and custom messages.

Caregiver setup

Make the board feel familiar.

Adults know the people, places, routines, and comfort items that matter in a child's real life. Those details can make communication easier to recognize.

Caregivers can begin with fewer visible choices and keep the board focused on the messages the child needs most today. Starter Level also lets parents choose how many sentence starters the child sees.

Full categories and individual tiles can be hidden to reduce overwhelm without removing communication. Hidden items stay saved, so families can show them again as routines and needs change.

Familiar tile pictures can make choices easier to recognize. Where supported, adults can add or replace images with real people, items, places, routines, school objects, pets, or comfort objects.

The adult guides the setup. The child receives the benefit: more ways to ask, refuse, choose, share a feeling, request a break, talk about school, or say something personal.

Start with what your child needs today. Add more when they are ready.

Caregiver tools

Visibility and familiar pictures work together.

A calmer board can still leave space for growth. Families can simplify what appears today, then bring back hidden choices or add familiar pictures when the child is ready. Protected Parent Tools keep setup controls out of the child-facing board.

Flexible communication

More ways to be heard

Children may need pictures, starters, Social Scripts, Free Talk, My Thoughts, typing, spelling, or speech output at different moments. Each tool can be introduced gradually, without making every child use everything at once.

Pictures and starters

Simple picture choices and parent-controlled starter levels help children build everyday messages without starting from a blank page.

Social Scripts

Ready-to-use phrases can support greetings, play, school moments, feelings, and social communication.

Free Talk and My Thoughts

Open-ended spaces give children and caregivers room for messages that are not already on a picture tile.

Typing and spelling

Letter-based and typed communication can support names, phrases, short messages, and early literacy routines.

Speech output

Selected pictures, words, typed text, and saved messages can be spoken aloud when a child needs another way to be heard.

Open-ended expression

Free Talk, spelling, and typing have a place.

Free Talk, My Thoughts, spelling, and typing give children room for messages that go beyond a preset tile, while speech output can help those messages be heard aloud.

Built for real routines

Guided by adults, built for children

Talki Kids is child-centered, but adults shape the setup. Parents, caregivers, teachers, and support teams can start simple, personalize the board, and grow communication gradually.

Guided by adults. Built for children.

Parents, caregivers, and support teams shape the setup around real life using protected Parent Tools. The child gets more ways to be understood.

Start simple, then grow

Begin with a calmer board, then add categories, tiles, pictures, and tools when they become useful.

Part of everyday support

Talki Kids is a communication support app, not a replacement for therapy, medical care, school services, or professional guidance.
