Understand what behaviour
may be communicating.

Talkology helps staff make sense of difficult moments, record what happened clearly and decide what to try next. It was developed with a speech and language therapist, so communication stays at the centre of the response.

Record what happened clearly — and use it to decide what to do next.

Talkology helps staff describe difficult moments in neutral, useful language, spot patterns over time and plan practical support. That gives colleagues and families a clearer picture of what happened, without labels that can shape expectations before the next interaction has even begun.

Talkology AI

Talk it through

Describe what happened in your own words. Talkology AI is built around speech, language and inclusion thinking, and answers with what the behaviour might be communicating and what to try next. A hypothesis to test, not a verdict.

ABC Tracker

Record what happened. Then see what repeats.

Antecedent before, behaviour during, consequence after — one observation at a time, in neutral words. Five minutes now beats a vague memory next week.

Patterns & Triggers

Patterns, not verdicts

Enough observations and the shape appears: the top antecedents, the time of day it keeps landing, and a tentative dominant function with the share of incidents behind it. A hypothesis the adults can test, rather than a label the child has to carry.

Turn understanding into action

Understanding a pattern is not the end of it. Every child sits at a stage, with the strategies being tried written down and a date to look again.

Language Reframer

The facts stay. The language changes.

The words in a note travel further than the moment did. Paste one in and get back a version that describes the need rather than the deficit, with nothing about what happened altered.

Command Centre

From one moment to the bigger picture

For the person holding all of it: the children being followed, where each one sits in the cycle, the triggers repeating across the school, and how much of what is being tried is actually helping.

How the parts connect

One system, not six tools

Talk

Think a moment through with Talkology AI while it is still fresh.

Record

Log it as antecedent, behaviour and consequence in the ABC Tracker.

See

Watch the triggers, the flashpoints and a likely function surface.

Plan

Move the child through assess, plan, do and review, with a date to look again.

Reframe

Change the words that travel with the child, without changing the facts.

Step back

See the cohort, the stages, and whether what you are trying is helping.

Understand first.
Respond second.

No category is forced on a child, and no pupil is named unless there is a lawful basis to name them.

Approach

Where the thinking comes from

Suni, speech and language therapist and Director of Together Let’s Communicate

SuniSpeech and Language Therapist
Director, Together Let’s Communicate

Talkology is Suni’s work. She is a speech and language therapist with more than 27 years across education, private practice, litigation, local authority and NHS settings, and the author of the Talkology book that comes with a licence.

Talkology brings the clinical lens: behaviour-as-communication, the speech and language vocabulary and the practice ethos. askKira brings the platform, the AI tuning and the secure hosting. Neither half works without the other.

It was built with her rather than around her, which is why the vocabulary holds up in a review and why the product offers a hypothesis instead of a verdict. Talkology does not assess, diagnose, or stand in for a speech and language therapist. It puts that way of thinking within reach of the adults who are actually in the room.

Working with askKira has been exciting, refreshing and genuinely enjoyable. They have taken the time to understand the heart and purpose behind Talkology.

Who it is for

For the people who have to write it down

SENCOs and inclusion leads

A record that holds up when someone asks: one structure, a pattern you can show, and an A4 print view for parent meetings and reviews.

Class teachers and support staff

Five minutes now beats a vague memory later. Log an observation as it happens, in a few taps, with a specialist lens on call while you think it through.

Speech and language therapists

The clinical vocabulary, kept intact. Deficit language rewritten without changing the facts, and a cohort view across the children being followed.

  • Never used to train an AI model. What you record stays yours, with per-account file isolation.
