User reviews

SLP gives this a thumbs up!

Cute app, user friendly, affordable; truly a dream to use this app. I just wish they had more details or functionality across multiple domains because I would gladly pay $$ to have more graphics/activities with Kea Kids!

An SLPs Dream App

I am a Speech and Language Pathologist who works with a lot of kiddos who are just learning basic communication skills. This app is amazing! It has been so engaging for my students! I’ve used it primarily with my kiddos on the spectrum and my AAC users. I’ve been able to target basic concepts and core words (e.g., go, stop, on, under, up, down) as well as helping to increase MLU (e.g., go up the hill, green flower, boat go under the bridge). I would HIGHLY recommend this app and hope they develop more apps like it!!

Response from developer

Hello, and thank you so much for your review. We originally created this app for our daughter with this in mind, so it truly does mean a lot to us to read such a fantastic response. We strongly believe there is a huge potential to expand how assisted communication can be expanded, and we wanted to blend the parts of AAC into something that is also fun and enjoyable for kids to practice speech. Thank you for taking the time to illustrate the parts of the app that have been useful to you as an SLP, that was absolutely amazing to read.  We are currently working on extending this app and have plans to develop more. If you're interested, we would love to get feedback from an SLP perspective! (We can be contacted directly at db@keakidsgames.com)  Upcoming changes are for customizing what Claire says when you tap her, this will allow an SLP (or parent) to choose what phrases she will say, and a fun new food scene that targets verbs plus food vocab.

Adorable and Educational

The art and animation for all the different animals and vehicles makes for an engaging and entertaining interactive learning experience. Kids can practice building short phrases without getting overwhelmed, and I particularly liked that there are so many little critters to discover and unlock. This is a great app for any kid that benefits from a visual aid when it comes to speech therapy, but especially considerate of those who may be on the spectrum or have other learning disabilities.

EDIT: The Spring ‘world’ is my new favorite, and perfect for color learning. I’m excited to see what new expansions come out next!
