Since Toca Kitchen Monsters was just ‘delivered’ as a gift, here are some of the specific ways we had when we first HijAACked it for PrAACtical AAC (I am sure we will do a lot more): providing low stress learning- (for both learner and adult facilitator) there are no in-app purchases, no timing to complete activities, no win/loss scores, and no negative error messages.providing focused opportunities for commenting- the characters often give a specific photo comment as you take the picture (think paint my wings).providing focused opportunities to talk about past events – allows you to photograph ‘creations’ for later discussion, writing,.making abstract experiences more-concrete shows how things work that can not be seen typically during the experience (the stomach, tasting over spiced foods, etc).modified social story experiences or as we like to call it personal participation story experiences allows learners to have various illnesses, cook on hot stoves, eat foods, change hair colors these are experiences that often can not be experienced on demand.multiple choice making opportunities can choose characters as well as many aspects of the activity (foods, colors, hair accessories, spices, etc).

joint action routine practice- can take different roles & predictable sequences.

We have HijAACked ALL of these apps to use with AAC systems because they promote teaching through: We use these apps so often that we can say we have officially HijAACked them for PrAACtical AAC. We love that they are reasonably priced, often participate in ‘give aways’ and they even do free GIFTS (think Toca Hair Salon Christmas Gift and now Toca Kitchen Monsters). They also provide practice and interaction with life experiences in a fun and pretend tech way. We have found them to be engaging to all ages (including us). There seems to be some philosophical similarities between the Toca Boca Apps and so we will begin with why we love ALL of them. We have loved every one of their apps since we first saw them. They are dedicated to providing interactive play opportunities using mobile technology. Toca Boca App Developers make general education preschool apps.
