The Struggle of Traditional Speech Therapy for Children
Every parent of a child in speech therapy knows the struggle:
Getting your child to sit down and practice feels like a daily battle.
Progress feels slow, and you wonder if you’re doing enough.
Therapy exercises often feel repetitive, and kids lose motivation fast.


Say Bananas was created to change that.
Our founder saw parents frustrated, clinicians overwhelmed, and kids left behind. The quest was clear: build speech therapy software that transformed practice from a chore into something fun and effective.
The breakthrough came with Say Bananas—a speech therapy app that uses engaging games, AI-powered feedback, and clinically validated exercises to help kids stay motivated and improve faster. Parents feel hopeful again. Clinicians save time and gain confidence in their data.
And most importantly—children begin to love speech therapy, asking to play “just one more game.”
That’s our vision: hope, progress, and a better way forward.
