Practical speech and communication support, at home.
Find guidance, activities and ideas for everyday life with SuperPenguin. Get support that fits your family, while you wait for an appointment, alongside therapy and afterwards.
Support shaped around your family
Tell SuperPenguin about your child and what matters to you. Your answers help shape a personalised plan, with the topics most relevant to your family’s needs first.
Follow your programme at your own pace and return to the guidance when you need it.
Ideas you can put into practice
Explore bite-sized topics that explain speech, language and communication in clear, practical ways, followed by interactive tasks to help you put the ideas into practice. More than 200 educational video animations help bring the ideas to life.
The content is matched to your needs, so you can focus on what is useful to your family and try it in everyday situations.
Check in and see your progress
Regular check-ins give you space to reflect on how things are going. Record your experience, notice changes over time and help keep your support relevant.
You can revisit your progress and use it to support conversations with the people helping your family.
Bring your family into the picture
Family Sharing lets you share SuperPenguin with family, friends or teachers for free. Share understanding and build a consistent approach across everyday routines.
It gives everyone a way to learn and support your child together.

Universal topics, content and tools that are helpful for all carers.
After assessment, while waiting
Targeted guidance to help you prepare for and make the most of therapy.
Alongside therapy

Continued support afterwards

A clearer view of support at home
The SuperPenguin clinician dashboard brings together information about a service’s use of the app, from an organisation overview to details about each client.
It helps the supporting team understand engagement and tailor care. For services, SuperPenguin is procurement-ready and can fit into existing care pathways.

Monitor engagement and distribution
Services can track the uptake of SuperPenguin and view key performance indicators. The dashboard provides real-time information on engagement, progress and outcomes across the organisation.
This helps teams understand how support is being used and where it is reaching families.
Adapt guidance to each person’s needs
The supporting service can view individual client progress and customise support. Staff can unlock or add support areas, informed by answers, app use and signs of additional needs.
This gives the team information to help keep support relevant as a family’s needs change.

Guidance made with people who understand

That combination helps turn specialist knowledge into practical guidance for everyday family life.

What our families say
“Overall it is a fantastic app. My take away for it was, as a parent I want to fix it and make it better, but actually it is fine for my son to stammer, so just make space to listen and go with it. I have done this and it really works and makes us all happier!”
