A lot of challenging behaviors are observed from children/people who have communication difficulties .
"Magey adu" is an augmentative and alternative communication system (in Dhivehi for Maldivians), that can be used as a support, to initiate functional communication among children/people with communication difficulties.
However, this is not a complete replacement for verbalization or speech.
The application had been tested with 3 children for 6 months. After testing the application with 2 non verbal children and a child with limited verbal, it was proven that all 3 children were able to successfully use clear single words using speech within a few weeks. However, this might not always be the case.
Challenging behaviors that were observed among these children were successfully replaced with functional communicative exchanges during the testing phase.
The application would also benefit all children to improve their vocabulary in general.
Based on the comments and critics we receive we will update the application in the near future as this is still in the testing phase.
