Exploring how to develop a technology-based speech learning app using a co-design method with parents of young children

The project aimed to explore how to develop a technology-based speech learning app, using a co-design method with parents of young children, where the goal was to prompt young children to speak. An iterative co-design method was used with 10 Master of Design students, 14 parents of young children, two childcare workers, two speech pathologists and one expert reviewer, in a pilot study with four phases of co-design workshops. Through this study, a design outcome was iteratively co-designed with all end-users and a final technology-based speech learning app design prototype was agreed upon.
