Use Case: Analysis of children's language for early support

Your challenge

About 7.5 percent of all preschool-aged children have language development disorders. These are difficult to detect at an early age and require expert knowledge. Nursery schools often lack the resources needed to assess children’s needs. As a result, not all children who need support receive the necessary early intervention, which can hinder their transition to school and their participation in society.

Your benefit

We develop AI-based, scalable, and objective analysis tools for assessing children’s language development. These tools are easy to integrate into the daily routine of nursery schools and other educational institutions, provide children with an interactive testing environment, and support professionals in their assessments. This enables the early identification of developmental needs, allowing for the implementation of targeted interventions.

Extras

Can be adapted for different age groups; for example, it can be used to assess reading proficiency among elementary school-aged children and in a speech therapy setting
