staRt is changing speech therapy.
You can help it grow.
staRt has helped nearly 20,000 users—kids, families, and SLPs—tackle the challenge of English "r" using tools backed by research.
For over 10 years, our work has been funded entirely by research grants. Now, to keep staRt accessible and expand it for a broader community, we need your support.
Our mission
Hi, I’m Tara McAllister, professor at NYU and co-founder of staRt. Since 2014, we’ve been building research-based tools to help kids improve speech using visual feedback.
Everything so far has been supported by research grants. But to reach more users—and grow staRt into something that can serve more families and SLPs—we need your help.
If staRt has made a difference for you, or if you believe in making speech tools more accessible, I’d be honored to have your support.
