What is HootCare?

Free app that turns a speech-language pathologist's sound targets into short daily practice sessions at home.

HootCare connects a child's speech-language pathologist with home practice between sessions, on iPhone and iPad. The SLP sets the speech targets, and the app turns them into short, playful sessions with games, stories and a storybook. It is home-practice support supervised by a licensed SLP, not therapy and not a replacement for the SLP.

Pricing. HootCare is free to download, with in-app purchases on the App Store.

Good for

  • Children practicing prescribed speech sounds between SLP visits
  • Families who can fit about 10 minutes of speech practice in a day
  • SLPs assigning and tracking home practice for several families

Description

The practice your speech-language pathologist prescribes - made doable at home.

HootCare connects a child's speech-language pathologist (SLP) with the six days a week they aren't in the room. It works on iPhone and iPad. The SLP picks the exact speech targets - a sound, a blend like BR, where it sits in the word, words or sentences - and HootCare turns them into short, playful practice sessions a family can actually finish.

For families

Read more
  • 10 minutes a day: say-it-with-Hoot practice, speed rounds, tongue twisters, silly fill-in stories, and a storybook - all built around your child's prescribed sounds
  • Hoot listens during practice and cheers honest effort (practice clips are kept only with your consent, and never without it)
  • Collect Hoot cards and keep a forgiving streak - encouragement, not pressure
  • A weekly "how's it going" summary in plain language

For SLPs

  • Prescribe once: targets, session size, and a practice plan (daily or every-other-day) with automatic variety so families see something fresh each day
  • Assign in seconds from a library grouped by sound
  • See honest practice data between sessions - tries, what was said clearly, per-target - never inflated accuracy
  • Add the whole family with an invite code
