A short reflection on how your child communicates
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.
A short reflection, not a test
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.
Questions adapt as you go
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.
Plain, everyday language
Questions describe things you can actually observe at home — no clinical terminology or scoring to interpret.
Short and repeatable
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.
A companion alongside professional care
TalkPebble is designed to support the everyday work of parenting. It complements — and never replaces — evaluation and care from qualified professionals.
What TalkPebble does

What it does not do
- It does not diagnose, screen for or rule out any condition

- It does not promise or predict any particular outcome
When to seek professional advice
- You have concerns about your child’s speech, language or hearing
- Your child seems to be losing skills they previously had
- You would simply like a professional opinion — you never need to wait
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.
