About Us · SpecLabs
The voices behind our stories are on the spectrum
Virtually all of Speech Kingdom’s voice actors are children and young adults on the autism spectrum, many of whom have spent years in speech and other therapies themselves. Through our partnership with Spectrum Laboratory, they bring authentic voices and lived experience to the stories our students hear every day.
