\u2018Jellow\u2019 \u2013 the absolutely delectable:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Some things in life are so ubiquitously appreciated that they could exist simply by virtue of those needs. The lick of an ice cream made with fresh, actual layers of tender coconut could be one such! In the West? That could be tart strawberry pieces peeping out through the creamy gelato layers!!<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s now look at a parallel. In the world of the \u2018special needs\u2019 being able to go through a day\u2019s basic activities without actually worrying about how to communicate these tasks between users and caregivers would be like having a strawberry gelato at the end of the day. We certainly felt such a delicacy-consuming moment on a recent visit to Lebanon (mid-April 2018).<\/p>\n

As part of an interesting event exploring \u201cSigns and Sense\u201d in Beirut recently, one had an opportunity to position \u2018Jellow\u2019 as a solution that is mindful of our sensory(s) uses. \u2018Jellow\u2019 definitely uses at least three of the five sensory(s) in everyday use: our sight, our sound, and our sense of touch through gestures and tangible contacts with interfaces. It was also clear that \u2018Jellow\u2019 sits in the \u201cshared-personal\u201d domain of information communication.<\/p>\n

As an Augmentative and Assisted Communication (AAC) System for Speech Disabilities in Children suffering from Cerebral Palsy and Autism that is also mindful of the use of the sensory(s) is heartening as sensory(s) are the most primeval bridge to expressing our daily needs, especially where children are concerned.Jellow\u2019s interfaces found great resonance precisely because its interfaces mirror one\u2019s ability to express one\u2019s emotions of both happiness (through satisfaction) + upset and anger (through frustrations experienced). The basic sensory(s) of everyday life played out through the working of \u2018Jellow\u2019 seemed pretty obvious to the audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
