@TalkTownGame was invited to present to the South Island Advisors on Deaf Children - we got lots of great feedback and ideas on how to extend our work to younger learner and their families.

d/Deaf/HoH young people can face extra challenges to their mental health. Talk Town empowers players with positive strategies to improve their sense of identity, self-advocacy skills and confidence. Available now in NZ on Google Play and the App Store #IWD2019 #MHAW2019

Happy International Week of the Deaf! We're thrilled to announced that Talk Town is now available on the NZ App Store and Google Play, for tablets and computers :)

UPDATE: Our developer has finished Android & iOS versions. We just need to sort out some privacy issues - player confidentially is super important to us. Once we've sorted this out you can download Talk Town to your favourite tablet or computer! We'll keep you posted :)

Having a positive personal identity is a powerful protector against bullying and stigma. @TalkTownGame gives deaf kids the opportunity to try out different identities and terms to describe themselves, and find out what works for them....

My baby and I just played with his NZSL / English blocks for the first time 😍 Can you read what he spelled? (Hint - it’s our launch date! 🚀)

As well as the best research evidence, Talk Town incorporates real life experiences from successful Deaf adults. Thanks to our friends in the NZ Deaf community for your input! 🙌

We have a launch date! New Zealand version of @TalkTownGame available on App Store and Google Play on 1st May 2019

Can you help test @TalkTownGame? Ahead of our launch next term, we need a range of apple device users to help us make sure the game works correctly! As well as a sneak preview of this awesome resource, you'll also receive a chocolate fish to say thanks :) Please get in touch!

Fantastic to see a thorough, and well-informed rebuttal of THAT Pediatrics paper. The original study contained several methodological flaws and assumptions, as well as overlooking the cultural needs of Deaf children.
