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.
Assess · Plan · Do · Review
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.
- Assess
- What we’re seeing
- Plan
- What we’ll try
- Do
- What’s being tried
- Review
- What changed
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
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.
Children’s data, treated like children’s data
- Anonymised by default. Pupil A, Pupil B. Real names only with a lawful basis and your DPO’s sign-off.
- Never used to train an AI model. What you record stays yours, with per-account file isolation.
- Hosted in the UK on AWS London, with a Trust Centre inside the product showing how your account is set up.
- A hypothesis, not a diagnosis. Talkology gives the adults around a child a way to think and a way to record. Clinical decisions stay with the professionals who make them.
