Resources and guidance to help your child communicate
See how children, parents, and teachers use ChirpBot to build meaningful communication.
See how ChirpBot makes communication simple, fun, and supportive for children and families.
ChirpBot is built on three principles that work together to help children communicate.
ChirpBot uses AI to guide communication, suggest next steps, and keep conversations flowing. Children express complete thoughts without pressure, while adults help without extensive preparation.
The app adapts to your child, not the other way around. It meets learners where they are and helps families communicate more easily every day.
Children learn best when they're curious and engaged. ChirpBot uses playful interactions, exploration, and positive reinforcement to make communication enjoyable.
Fun isn't decoration. It's how young brains learn. When communication feels good, children practice more and progress faster.
The interface is clean, predictable, and clutter-free. Learners focus on communicating, not navigating. Adults can step in immediately without training.
Lower cognitive load means less frustration and more confidence. When communication feels easy, children use it more independently.

Safety, privacy, and research-backed design at every step
ChirpBot is designed for young learners with no ads, no pop-ups, and no distracting content.
Your child's communication data stays on your device unless you choose to sync. We collect only what's needed.
Every feature reflects research on how children learn language — modeling, repetition, and naturalistic interaction.
Answers for parents, teachers, and therapists — organized by topic and easy to scan.
Early is always better when it comes to supporting communication, but AAC does not have to be the very first step. Readiness often begins with something simpler: joyful engagement and repeated exposure to language.
Many children's songs repeat the same words and phrases again and again. That repetition is ideal for many autistic learners. If your child starts choosing favorite videos, repeating sounds or words, or showing interest in patterns, that is often a sign they are ready to explore AAC.
Some great early examples include: Alphablocks, Numberblocks, StoryBots, and Super Simple Songs.
Keep it light and playful. Open the app during activities your child already enjoys and tap a few words yourself. Let them explore without pressure and respond to whatever they tap as communication.
Every child is different. Some begin using ChirpBot with intention within days, while others take weeks or months. Any tapping or word use helps activate communication centers in the brain, so even early exploration has value.
No formal training is required. ChirpBot is designed to be simple, intuitive, and easy to model. If you can tap a word while you talk, you already know the basics.
ChirpBot is free to download and use. The core AAC features are free because communication should be accessible to every family.
Optional AI features cost between $5 and $10 USD per month. These AI features are helpful, but not required for basic communication.
You can add custom cards with your own text, images from your camera or photo library, and emojis. You can also create custom decks and rearrange categories directly in the app.
Yes. Core communication features work without internet, including word selection, categories, custom vocabulary, and basic text-to-speech. AI-powered suggestions and premium voices require an internet connection.
ChirpBot runs on modern iOS and Android phones and tablets.
It is simpler, more intuitive, and designed for real-world use. ChirpBot blends AAC with supportive features that reduce cognitive load and encourage natural communication. Learning Mode provides structure when needed, while Communication Mode allows free-form expression.
Short, frequent moments work best. A few minutes during meals, play, or daily routines is enough to build familiarity.
This is normal. Random tapping is AAC "babbling." Keep modeling, keep it playful, and interest usually grows over time.
Model simple combinations like "want snack" or "go outside." Communication Mode lets children build full sentences by tapping multiple words. Consistent exposure helps children learn patterns.
Take a break and try again later. Keep interactions light and follow your child's lead.
Use it during circle time, reading, centers, or transitions. Model key words and encourage students to tap along.
Yes. ChirpBot can support communication goals, participation, and expressive language targets.
Share simple routines, favorite words, and modeling strategies. Teachers can also use classroom linking to set learning levels that match IEP goals. Consistency matters more than complexity.
You can access help directly in the app, including tutorials and quick guides. We also offer email support for families and educators.
