Where It Began
Kaabir’s connection with communication began at the age of two and a half, when he experienced a speech delay. Speech therapy became an important part of his early development, helping him find greater clarity and confidence in expressing himself.
Over time, communication became more than a skill. It became a way to perform, connect, and be heard. That journey led to one simple question:
What if speech practice could feel more like play?
The Idea Behind Shape My Sound
That question became Shape My Sound, a multisensory experience where children explore speech through sound, shape, movement, and play.
Built around exploration and repetition, Shape My Sound aims to make speech practice more engaging, approachable, and enjoyable.
For Kaabir, it brings the journey full circle. Having once needed support to find his voice, he is now creating a space for children to explore theirs through an accessible, easy to use online platform.
