Transforming daily outings into enriching educational experiences is a pursuit many parents cherish. Talk Around Town, developed with the specific needs of parents and caregivers of young children in mind, offers an innovative solution to enhance communication and language development during these excursions.

This application utilizes location services to deliver targeted tips as users arrive at selected destinations, such as parks, libraries, stores, and restaurants. Users receive practical and research-backed recommendations in both English and Spanish, facilitating meaningful interactions that can positively impact a child's language skills.

Why Consider Talk Around Town?

  • Developed by child development researchers at the University of Kansas, the tips provided within the app are grounded in extensive research on child language acquisition.
  • The application reinforces the importance of rich language environments, showing that even infants can significantly benefit from exposure to varied vocabulary and opportunities for spontaneous conversation.
  • By engaging with tips in diverse settings, caregivers can help children contextualize their learning, fostering vocabulary expansion and generalization of language skills.
