SmallTalk UI/UX
UCSD DESIGN CO: DESIGN FRONTIER PROJECT
Pediatric Speech & Occupational Therapy Progress Tracking
By focusing on "small" talk, the app emphasizes the importance of recognizing and celebrating every little achievement along the way. Each small conversation, each new word spoken or understood, is a step forward in a child's language journey.
We believe that every child should have the tools to express themselves, so we created a platform called “SmallTalk.”
By using “SmallTalk,” children with speech impairments have the ability to track and strengthen their language abilities by completing a series of learning challenges that are followed by interactive rewards that are applied to their personalized character on the app.
In addition, children have the option to connect directly with their Speech Learning Pathologist to voice feelings of uncertainty and share monumental learning accomplishments.
While children learn, parents can track their child’s progress while gaining reassurance on their child’s journey by connecting with other families in the community.
With “SmallTalk,” we aspire to build a bridge between children with speech impairments, their families, and SLPs, so together they can create a new life changing and meaningful learning experience.
