Communication Adventures - Learn to communicate 2.0

This review examines the Summer offer from Communication Adventures, a resource designed to enhance communication skills for children with speech difficulties. While currently available free for a limited time, the app functions as a comprehensive training tool for communication partners—including parents, teachers, caregivers, and speech therapists—working with non-verbal children or those with severe speech challenges.

Communication Adventures has been thoughtfully developed to empower users with practical strategies tailored to various settings. Its approach simplifies the process of learning effective communication techniques, integrating engaging content such as tips, motivational messages, and conversation ideas aimed at supporting language development via Aided Language Input methods.

The app features positive feedback from users, highlighting its accessible presentation of tips and its usefulness for non-professional caregivers. Parent reviewer Lynn Neidigh commented on the clarity and practicality of the advice, while speech-language pathologist Lucas Steuber appreciated its emphasis on natural language expansion and facilitating child agency during interactions.

Designed to be applicable regardless of the specific communication system employed by the child, Communication Adventures is developed by Avaz Inc., renowned for its award-winning AAC application, Avaz. The app introduces users to communication strategies through interactive gameplay centered around Johnny, a charming 7-year-old boy with complex communication needs who is exploring alternative communication methods.

Participants engage with Johnny’s daily routines—mealtime, TV viewing, reading—through scenario-based activities that involve selecting appropriate responses from options. Each interaction is paired with tips and insights to foster effective communication. The gameplay incorporates time limits and performance criteria to motivate completion and learning. Successful engagement results in collecting strategies and conversation ideas that can be applied in real-life contexts.

It encourages a fun and interactive learning experience while emphasizing flexibility; however, users are advised that these strategies must be tailored to each child's unique needs in consultation with a therapist.

Key reasons to consider Johnny’s Comm Adventure include interactive learning through manageable game segments, situational adaptability across various settings, and applicability regardless of the child's chosen communication system.

Main features include:

• Interactive games rooted in daily activities
• Practical tips to support language development
• Conversation ideas aligned with typical routines
• Motivational strategies to encourage communication
• Filtering options by activity and category for targeted learning
