About Us
How One Child’s Journey Inspired a New Way Forward in Speech Therapy
Storilly was inspired by the parents and professionals caring for Arjun, a child with progressive deafness in both ears. He needed years of speech-language therapy before and after he received his cochlear implants to hear with. He is a gifted and active child today who speaks his mind freely.
Storilly tools were crafted over years by speech-language pathologists, doctors, and parents. Together we are forging modern digital tools to enhance collaboration, coaching, and communication between therapists and families, and also facilitate greater parent-child interactions around storybooks. We understand that therapists and parents are seeking new strategies to work with each other to complete the work in between in-person sessions.
Empowering families at home can let kids soar to their fullest potential!
