Early Developmental Support
We are developing parent-facing digital support tools that improve early awareness of speech and interaction milestones in young children. The goal is to help caregivers recognise age-appropriate indicators, document observations, and take informed next steps when concerns arise.
Solutions and outcomes
• Milestone-aware check-ins that help parents understand typical age-related speech and interaction signals.
• Simple tracking to observe patterns over time and prepare useful notes for professional conversations.
• Signposting and practical next-step guidance (e.g., seeking professional advice, improving interaction routines).
In development now
• Early-stage app concepts and content structures designed specifically for parents and caregivers.
• Responsible user journeys that emphasise reassurance, clarity, and appropriate escalation pathways.
• Prototype milestone frameworks that can be refined through feedback and collaboration.
Current interests and next directions
• Making early awareness practical and supportive for families across different contexts and routines.
• Clear, non-judgmental communication that supports healthy habits without rigid prescriptions or blame.
• Evaluation approaches to ensure content is understandable, culturally sensitive, and appropriately framed.
