What We Do
smallTalk products enable brain development through early language exposure.
smallTalk® is an award winning technology startup focused on brain development through early language exposure.
Acquiring language is one of the major accomplishments of early childhood, playing a critical role in social and cognitive development. Babies depend on the stimulus of “infant-directed speech” from the adults in their life to create the neural pathways in their brain to process language.
The quantity, quality and variety of language during this time impacts neurodevelopment, speech and language outcomes, and even lifetime earnings!
smallTalk is supported on its mission by many incredible organizations, including the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, Nationwide Children's Hospital and Rev1 Ventures.
