Why SpeechToys?
Not every great communication toy says “speech therapy” on the box.
Curated with purpose
Products are selected for the communication, play and learning opportunities they can create.
Ideas included
We show you practical ways to use a product instead of leaving you with another toy and no idea what to do next.
Play first
The best resource is often the one someone actually wants to use again. Fun and usefulness can coexist.
For families
Purposeful play without turning home into a clinic.
Find toys, games and simple activity ideas that can create more opportunities to talk, listen, imagine and connect.
For professionals
Products that earn their place in your therapy bag.
Portable, reusable and flexible picks for speech pathologists, OTs, educators and other allied-health professionals.
When play isn't the whole answer
Concerned about speech, language or communication?
Toys can create useful opportunities for communication, but they don't replace individual assessment or therapy when those services are needed. We've created a simple pathway to help families work out where to look next.
