What TalkPebble does
- Shares general, age-aware information about early communication
- Suggests everyday activities you can try at home
- Helps you keep notes on what you observe
Questions adapt to your child’s age and your previous answers, so you only see what is relevant. The check is not a diagnosis, screening or assessment.
The Communication Check helps you reflect on how your child communicates right now, so TalkPebble can suggest activities that better fit their stage.
This is not a diagnosis. The Communication Check does not assess, screen for or identify speech or language disorders. Only a qualified professional, such as a speech-language pathologist, can evaluate your child.
The check starts from your child’s age, then adjusts based on your previous answers so you only see questions that are relevant to your child.
Questions describe things you can actually observe at home — no clinical terminology or scoring to interpret.
Most parents finish in under five minutes. You can revisit the check later to reflect on what has changed.
When your child wants something out of reach, do they let you know?
This could be pointing, reaching, making a sound, leading you by the hand, or using words. Any of these count.
Your answers guide which questions come next. Nothing here is scored or used to diagnose.
TalkPebble is designed to support the everyday work of parenting. It complements — and never replaces — evaluation and care from qualified professionals.
If you have questions or concerns about your child's development, a speech-language pathologist or your child's doctor is the right place to start. You do not need to use this app first, and you never need a referral from us.
