Building Personalized Conversation Partners for Young Learners
Smarticles builds apps focused on strengthening communication and social skills in K-3 students.
Although students of all abilities can use our apps, we are passionate about assisting students with Autism and speech delays. Helping them connect with others improves their quality of life and gives parents and teachers hope for their future. This is why we exist.
Effective, Evidence-Based Activities
Smarticles uses a three-pronged approach to helping students improve their communication skills. We use conversation partners to introduce new concepts and skills to student through play, leveraging likes and interests.

Why We’re Here
Addressing An Urgent Need
More and more students are in need of speech services, but the school staff and funding continue to decline. We build applications that harnesses the innovation of technology to
- Help schools serve students with disabilities and learning challenges without hiring more staff
- Provide a scalable solution that adapts to all skill levels and abilities
- Create non-judgmental, learning environments that fosters confidence and achievement
Changing Lives for the Better
Not being able to communicate significantly impacts a student’s quality of life, affecting their ability to learn, convey their needs, and connect with others. Our mission is to change the lives of children so that
- They develop their voice and learn how to use it
- Parents can have hope for their child’s future
- Educators can fulfill the reason they join their profession
