Sesla: AAC & Speech Practice

Sesla is two tools in one app: a full AAC communication talker for children and adults who cannot speak, AND a guided speech-sound practice program for late talkers and kids in speech therapy.

▼ AAC TALKER — for nonverbal communication
For children and adults with autism (ASD), apraxia, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, developmental delays, and acquired speech conditions like stroke or ALS.

Tap symbols. Build sentences. Speak out loud. That simple.

▼ SPEECH PRACTICE — for articulation and word-finding
Guided daily lessons covering articulation, picture naming, and word-finding. Designed for late talkers, kids in speech therapy, and parents who want structured between-session activities to run at home.

Includes progress tracking, daily streaks, and customizable practice reminders. The free tier includes 1 lesson per day; Practice Plus unlocks unlimited daily lessons with a 14-day free trial on the annual plan.
