Supported Communication Game<\/h2>\n\n\n

Give everyone a voice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supported Communication (SC) is the use of alternative forms and means of communication for people who do not speak or who have difficulty speaking. For children with a communicative disability, it is very important that the environment is familiar with SC. With the Deelkracht Foundation<\/strong><\/a>, we investigate how a game about Supported Communication can help parents and professionals find a suitable form of communication, together with the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do we familiarise parents and professionals with Supported Communication?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Assisted Communication takes many forms. Think of gestures, pictograms, speech computers and so on. People with communication disabilities can participate better when this kind of support is used in their social circle. After all: if you can indicate what you need, you can better organise your life the way you want.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

There is a lot of knowledge about SC, but unfortunately this knowledge does not always reach parents and professionals yet. Moreover, communication problems and communication solutions are very diverse. This makes it difficult for parents and professionals to actually start using SC in the unique situation with their child or client.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n<\/div>\n

In a joint design process<\/a>, we investigated how serious gaming could help parents\/professionals and children find the right form of SC together. During a Problem Storm and Brainstorm we clearly mapped out the problem and various solution options – together with the target groups. The 8D Games team then further developed the best-fit solution in a wireframe. This is a functional representation of how the player could use the game. A wireframe makes the idea ‘tangible’ and testable at an early stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We work from a social design perspective, with co-creation as the central focus. At crucial moments, we validate assumptions and proposals with the target groups: during the preliminary research, as well as throughout the development and implementation of an intervention. At the same time, we value maintaining momentum in the project, making decisions, and ensuring clear and concrete actions. Discover how we combine iterative processes and pragmatism in our own social design methodology<\/a>, consisting of eight steps that we navigate together with partners and target groups.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n \n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
