SPEECH AI

One-Stop, AI-Driven Speech Therapy & Neurodevelopmental Care

Open here. Stepping is building Speech AI — one platform that carries a child from screening to therapy to progress tracking.

Background..

Section break. We start with the background: who these children are, and what the situation in Bangladesh looks like today.

Background..

Communication disorders

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Attention-Deficit / ADHD

Down Syndrome

Cerebral Palsy (CP)

Apraxia of speech

Dysarthria

Aphasia

Hearing & auditory disorders

These are the conditions Speech AI is built for. Autism and ADHD are the largest groups, but the same platform serves every one of these.

Background..

Scenario (BD)

Insufficient service

Around 1 crore special children in Bangladesh, but 75% of them have no access to services.

Late diagnosis

95% of the rural population is unaware of developmental disorders and disabilities.

Lack of professionals

Available therapists: 2,000 for 10 million children in need, but 250,000 are required to provide adequate care.

Lifelong impact

Unemployment, care costs, and lost talent drain families and national growth.

Four numbers define the gap in Bangladesh: 75% have no access, 95% of rural families are unaware, there are 2,000 therapists where 250,000 are needed — and the cost compounds across a lifetime.

Background..

Education gap

Disabled Children (aged 5–17)

20%

80% not in education

in education

Academic Enrollment

Primary

35%

Secondary

20%

7 in 10 are out of school

2 in education 1 out of school, other reasons 7 out of school, disability-related

Only one in five disabled children aged 5 to 17 is in education. Of every ten, two are in school and one is out for reasons unrelated to disability — leaving seven out of school because of it. Enrolment collapses further from primary to secondary, 35% to 20%.

Problems..

Section break. Now the problems — for parents, for therapy centres, and for the child.

Problems..

Parents’ Burden

1% time of a week spent with a therapist.

1–2 hrs with a therapist 166 hrs at home, unmanaged

Professional therapist far from home

Diagnosis can take months

Therapy is costly

Lack of parents guidance

A child gets one or two hours a week with a therapist. The other 166 hours happen at home, with no guidance. That is the gap the platform closes.

Problems..

Therapy Center’s Burden

Huge manual paperwork burden

No standard clinical protocol

No objective progress tracking

Not enough trained therapists

Manual assessments & reports

No digital patient records

Centres run on paper. No shared protocol, no digital record, no objective way to show a child is improving.

Problems..

Child's Suffering

Two children start at the same point. Only one of them is caught in time.

Peer development

Without early support

STAGE 1 · DETECT

Early intervention Missed, caught too late

Assessment & screening Poor or unavailable

STAGE 2 · TREATMENT

Therapy plan No clear guideline

Trained support Lack of training

STAGE 3 · THRIVE

Development Falls behind peers

Mainstream life Cannot integrate

Two lines leave the same point. One is a child who gets support; the other is a child who does not. Every stage we fail widens the gap, and by school age it cannot be closed.

Problems..

Service gap

specialist care nearby almost none

99% of children in rural areas are not getting any service

85% of autistic youth are outside mainstream school

Lack of therapists

No digital platform

High cost of care

No national database

Dark districts are the ones with specialist care within reach. Everything pale is a family that would have to travel for a diagnosis.

Problems..

Industry problem

One child, three actors — and not one link between them carries information.

01 Everything manual Notes on paper, nothing measured or tracked

02 No feedback loop Nobody sees what happened between sessions

03 No shared data Each side keeps its own partial record of the child

04 Confusing guidance Parents hear different advice from every source

Parents, clinic and therapist all work on the same child, and not one of the links between them carries information. These four failures are what the broken links produce.

Solutions..

Section break. This is what we are building, and who it is for.

Solutions..

Platforms (AI Based)

APP For parents & children at home

THERAPY CENTRE For clinicians & therapy centres

HOW TO SOLVE AI screening & guided home therapy

HOW TO WORK Daily exercises, progress, AI guidance

VIRTUAL SESSIONS Parents run therapy at home, guided live by a professional

HOW TO SOLVE Digital assessment & auto reports

HOW TO WORK Standard protocols, shared records

FLAGSHIP ROOMS Cameras and microphones score every session for AI screening

Two products, one system. The app puts screening and daily therapy in the parent's hands, with a professional joining live. The flagship centre is a room fitted with cameras and microphones so the AI can score a session objectively.

Solutions..

Solution for Parents

THE LOOP A PARENT LIVES

THE CHILD

Notice a concern

Screen at home

Result & referral

Guided therapy plan

Daily home practice

Live session with a therapist

Progress you can see

Plan adjusts each cycle

The parent journey: a worry becomes a screening they can run themselves, then a plan they can actually follow, with a professional joining live and progress they can see. It never ends — each cycle retunes the plan.

Solutions..

Solution for Therapy Center

THE LOOP A CENTRE RUNS

THE SESSION

Digital intake

Standard assessment

Room captures the session

AI scores the activity

Report writes itself

Protocol-led plan

Shared patient record

Outcomes benchmarked

The centre workflow: digital intake, a standard assessment every therapist runs the same way, a session the room scores objectively, and a report written for you — then the next cycle starts from real data.

Solutions..

Problem and Solution

PROBLEM

SPEECH AI SOLUTION

No specialists nearby

AI Screening

Parents don’t know home activities

Guardian App

Therapists write reports manually

Auto Report Generation

Children don’t practice daily

Home Exercise Module

No progress tracking

AI Analytics Dashboard

No standardized assessment

Digital SLP Assessment

Six problems, six things we ship. Every line on the left is answered by a module on the right — nothing in the product exists without a problem behind it.

Outcomes..

Section break. What this produces — for the child, for families, and for the country.

Outcomes..

Platform generates

Independence Rehabilitation that ends in a young adult who earns — a dependant becomes a contributor to GDP

A new market A domestic care economy — centres, therapists, trainers and tools that did not exist before

National data The country's first structured record of autism and neurodevelopmental care

SDG progress Measurable movement on Goals 3, 4, 8, 9, 10 and 17

Four returns from one platform: children rehabilitated to independence and earning, a new domestic care market, the country's first structured developmental dataset, and measurable progress against the SDGs.

Outcomes..

Impact

What changes for every child

Early assessment Screening starts at home, years before a clinic would have caught it

Therapy at home Parents run guided sessions between visits, with the therapist watching the record

Coverage up to rural A family four hours from the nearest therapist gets the same programme

No more paperwork Notes, reports and progress records are generated, not written

Four measurable shifts, read clockwise: assessment happens earlier, therapy and parent guidance move into the home, care reaches families with no clinic nearby, and paperwork all but disappears.

Outcomes..

Aligned with SDGs

Six of the seventeen Global Goals, served directly.

UN GLOBAL GOALS

SDG3 Good Health & Well-being Children develop and thrive.

SDG4 Quality Education Inclusive schooling from day one.

SDG8 Decent Work & Growth New clinical-AI and digital-health jobs.

SDG9 Industry & Innovation Homegrown applied-AI innovation.

SDG10 Reduced Inequalities Care reaches rural families.

SDG17 Partnerships for Goals Industry, academia and clinics together.

Six of the seventeen Global Goals are served directly: health, education, decent work, innovation, equality and partnership.

The other
166 hours.

A therapist gets one. The week keeps the rest — and that is where a child actually grows.

The digital infrastructure for speech & developmental care in Bangladesh, built to scale globally.

1 crore children in need

2,000 therapists today

6 of 17 SDGs addressed

Let’s build it together..

Close here. This is not a product pitch. It is a record layer for developmental care — one file per child that follows them from screening to school. Ask for the partnership.
