EKKO

Every parent longs to hear their child's first words. But for millions of children, those words are delayed — or never come at all. Over 170 million people worldwide live with speech disorders, including Dysarthria, Apraxia of Speech, Speech Sound Disorders, and Selective Mutism. These challenges are especially common among specially-abled children and people of determination. Early intervention is essential — yet traditional speech therapy is often expensive, clinician-dependent, and difficult to access, particularly in underserved communities. EKKO is changing the narrative. We've developed a non-invasive, portable wave therapy device paired with an assistive digital platform that empowers parents and caregivers to deliver therapy safely and effectively at home — complementing professional care when needed. Using controlled vibrational waves, the device stimulates oral-motor pathways and activates neural circuits essential for speech production — without drugs, side effects, or the need for constant clinical supervision. The companion platform guides users through step-by-step sessions, tracks progress, and adapts to each child's evolving needs. EKKO is more than a device — it's a mission: To give every child, regardless of ability or background, the chance to find their voice.
