Our story

Built by people who believe every child deserves to keep progressing

Talkli was born from a simple observation: the best therapy in the world is limited to a handful of hours per week. Everything that happens between those hours matters just as much.

Our mission

Close the gap between the clinic and the home.

We believe the distance between a therapy session and the dinner table is where outcomes are made or lost. Talkli exists to close that gap — giving families the tools, the context, and the confidence to continue meaningful practice every single day.

Where it started

Talkli started in Tampa Bay, Florida, where a speech-language pathologist and a parent of a child in speech therapy kept running into the same problem: families leaving appointments not quite sure what had happened, what to practice, or whether their child was making progress.

Session notes existed — but they were written for insurance, not for parents. Practice guidance was given verbally — and forgotten by the time everyone got to the car. Progress was happening, but nobody could see it clearly.

The answer wasn't more paperwork. It was a smarter connection between the people who most care about a child's voice: their therapist and their family.

What we built

Talkli is a platform that lets speech-language pathologists document sessions, set goals, and communicate with families — all in one place. For families, it means practice games built around their child's actual goals, session notes from their therapist waiting in their pocket, and a clear picture of how their child is improving week over week.

We designed it to be genuinely simple. Not "simple for a medical platform" — simple enough that a busy parent can open it between school pickup and dinner and actually use it. Simple enough that a therapist can write a note in the same amount of time it used to take just to open their documentation software.

Our approach to privacy

Speech therapy involves children and families sharing sensitive information. We designed Talkli with that weight in mind. Data is stored securely, access is role-controlled, and we do not sell user data. See our Privacy Policy and HIPAA Notice for full details.

The team

Small team. Big purpose.

Talkli is built by a small team of clinicians, parents, and engineers in the Tampa Bay area.

What we believe

Our values

🧒
Children first, always
Every decision we make — in design, in privacy, in clinical accuracy — starts with what's best for the child. Not the platform. Not the algorithm. The child.
🤝
Clinicians deserve better tools
Speech-language pathologists do extraordinary work. Their software rarely reflects that. Talkli is built to make their practice easier, not to add friction in the name of compliance theater.
🏡
The home is part of the therapy
Progress doesn't happen only in the clinic. Families are the most important carry-over environment — and they deserve real tools to be effective partners in therapy.
🔒
Privacy is not a feature. It's a foundation.
We handle data about children and families. That's a responsibility we take seriously. We design for privacy first, monetize responsibly, and never trade user data for growth.
