TOOLS & TECHNOLOGY
At NVSS, we are attempting to advance the field of speech-language pathology by developing cutting-edge tools and forward-thinking technology.
Our goal is to create accessible technology that enhances how services are delivered - bridging gaps, creating efficiencies for clinicians, and supporting individuals with communication difficulties in meaningful, culturally-responsive ways.
From AI-integrated apps to automated support systems and community-created resources, our tools are designed to meet the evolving needs of the field with impact and intention.
NVSS TEACHSPEECH APP
The NVSS TeachSpeech App reimagines how speech therapy can be supported—placing accessible, innovative resources directly in the hands of those who work closest with children. Designed for families, educators, and speech therapists, the app ensures individuals with speech difficulties receive consistent, meaningful practice - beyond therapy sessions.
TeachSpeech features step-by-step training videos, interactive games, and printable activities—all created to help children master speech sounds in fun and engaging ways, while also educating and guiding adults to confidently support speech development.
Powered by NVSS’s proprietary ArticulateAI technology, the app analyzes each speech attempt in real time, offering nuanced feedback tailored to the child’s needs—bringing a new level of responsiveness to home and school-based speech practice. The app also includes our Animated Articulation tool, developed in collaboration with Elsevier, one of the world’s leading medical and academic publishers. This feature provides 3D motion animations that visually demonstrate how speech sounds are formed—making speech visible, understandable, and teachable like never before!
Recognizing the importance of representation in speech resources, the Language Library was designed as a collaborative and evolving space where community language knowledge and professional tools come together to support early vocabulary development. Built to include as many languages and dialects as possible, the portal continues to grow through partnerships with translators and language keepers committed to preserving, promoting, and revitalizing underrepresented languages worldwide.
SLP SUPPORT SYSTEM
The SLP Support System (SSS) is an advanced back-end system designed exclusively for speech-language pathologists working in school and private settings. Created to significantly reduce administrative overload, the SSS streamlines and simplifies every stage of speech therapy workflow—without compromising professional control or clinical judgment.
Built with flexibility in mind, the system automates time-consuming tasks like report writing, therapy planning, and progress tracking, while still allowing SLPs to customize every detail. By targeting the most prevalent communication difficulties in early education—articulation and phonological speech sound disorders—the SSS helps clinicians manage the bulk of their workload more efficiently, so they can dedicate more time to students and clients with complex or high-needs profiles.
KEY FEATURES:
SMART SCREENING INTEGRATION
Speech screening forms automatically populate the system with student profiles.
ONE-CLICK PARENT REPORTS
Instantly generate clear, personalized reports based on screening results. These reports link directly to the NVSS TeachSpeech App, so families can begin guided home-based support right away.
AUTOMATED SCHOOL / CLINIC SUMMARIES
System-generated reports outline assessment findings across classrooms or clinics, helping identify students who may require further assessment or targeted intervention.
THERAPY PLAN GENERATOR
Individualized therapy plans are automatically generated - tailored to each child’s screening results and age (plans are developed using a structured approach adapted by NVSS from the foundational principles of the Hodson Cycles framework).
PROGRESS SCREENING + REPORTS
Monitor student progress with tools that compare outcomes across multiple screening periods and auto-generate professional progress updates.
MEETING DOCUMENTATION
Built-in meeting forms make it easy to document school team/family check-ins, track student outcomes, and support organized case management.
