Hi, I’m Jen Bjorem, and I’m so glad you’re here.

When I first started, it was just my family and me, shipping speech sound cue cards out of our kitchen pantry. I had a simple goal: to share the tools I’d been using in therapy for years, hoping they could help others too.

From stickers on sticks to building a passionate team, every step of this journey has been humbling and full of growth. What keeps me going is this incredible community of SLPs, educators, and families who believe in what we do. Your stories, your breakthroughs, and your heart are what drive us. Together, we’re making a difference, one child, one session, and one product at a time.

Our Story

What started with stickers on sticks has grown into a global brand, driven by heart, research, and a mission to make every child feel seen, heard, and supported.

From Stickers on Sticks to a Global Brand

Sometimes the best ideas start simply.

For us, it began with stickers of clip art on sticks and a leap of faith that other speech pathologists might need this tool too.

Fresh out of undergrad, illustrator Ruthie Ozonoff brought the vision to life, creating the art that would become the beloved Bjorem Speech Sound Cues.

It shows that impactful ideas don’t need fancy beginnings, just passion, creativity, and the courage to share them.

Proof That Passion Scales

We started in 2017 with a big dream and a small pantry.

Now, in 2025, Bjorem Speech & Literacy has proudly fulfilled over 225,000 orders and offers more than 80 unique SKUs.

What began as a passion project has grown into a trusted brand for speech-language pathologists, educators, and families worldwide.

In just under a decade, we’ve reached hundreds of thousands of customers, proof that when you combine heart, research, and purpose, the impact is real and lasting.

From Pantry to Warehouse

Today, Bjorem Speech & Literacy operates out of a 5,000-square-foot warehouse in beautiful Colorado.

With a dedicated team of nine and more than 20 collaborators, creators, and authors, we’ve built a thriving hub where ideas turn into products that support professionals and families.

We proudly ship all of our own products, run a fully stocked Amazon store, and partner with international resellers in five countries, extending our reach across the globe.

Partnerships That Matter

Our products are trusted by some of the largest school districts in the United States, ensuring that high-quality, evidence-informed resources reach the classrooms and therapy rooms where they’re needed most.

Every partnership is built on shared values—empowering educators, supporting students, and making speech and literacy resources more accessible to all.

Our Mission in Action

At the heart of everything we create is our mission: to design materials that are diverse, inclusive, and reflective of the world we live in.

We believe every child should see themselves represented in the tools they use to learn and grow.

By combining research-based practices with thoughtful design, we strive to equip speech-language pathologists, educators, and families with resources that inspire confidence, connection, and meaningful progress.
