Who's Behind TalkTinker?

TalkTinker is run by speech therapist Marie Laxell in collaboration with Laxell Consulting Ltd. Marie is a licensed speech-language therapist from Finland, specialized in stroke rehabilitation, brain injuries, and degenerative diseases. Drawing on her extensive clinical experience, she recognized the challenges of finding and creating therapy materials that are both motivating and visually engaging for different individuals. TalkTinker was born from this practical need, with the mission of providing an effective and user-friendly image bank tool for therapy professionals.
