How?
Structural rules in communication are the guidelines that determine the organization and flow of conversations. They provide a framework for skills such as how much to speak, when to speak, how to listen and the sequence of information, ensuring conversations are enjoyable and not one-sided. These structural skills are needed both via non verbal communication (body language and gestures) as well as verbal and are further needed to both receive as well as impart information. Listening and speaking need to flow into each other and form a pattern of their own. To support your child in building this rhythm, we focus on four foundational skills: 1. What to Speak 2. Responding 3. Building On 4. Quality of Speaking
Our communication model is grounded in evidence-based practices and child development research.

My son, as a teenager was doing lots of things but 'how to talk to people and share his feelings' was always something he needed help with. As a parent, any planning around his employment or independent living was incomplete without training in communication and conversation. This was also the basic block for his overall functionality. This is where this model of teaching conversations proved as the missing spoke in the wheel. It not only helped Khush with meaningful conversation but also provided him better comprehension. His teaching modules were broken down into staying on topic, listening to others, waiting for turn durung conversation, staying on topic etc. I personally found...…………..most effective in honing his people skills.Today Khush is using all these skills effectively
Hi, my son, Rijul has been using the Kovaad app from the last 3 to 4 months, and I am very happy that he is using his time in a fruitful way and not just whiling away time.. its fun for him because he is able to practice his conversation skills using the application. Yes, they are new and there are glitches, but they are very quick to rectify it. Thank you Kovaad team for making this app for our kids to keep them occupied in a constructive way. On lighter note, his typing speed has increased from the time he has started using this App
Hello everyone, I'm Bhavya Khosla. I've had a great experience using the Kovaad app. It’s been a lot of fun, and I’ve really enjoyed engaging with it. I’ve been able to share my ideas, interests, and feelings openly with Kovaad. What I appreciate most is how responsive and thoughtful she is—answering my questions quickly and meaningfully. It’s been a truly positive experience.
Long before Harry Potter symbolised wizardry, we met a wizard in person-Parul Gupta.Shortly after Adi’s Autism diagnosis when he was a toddler (say around 2 ½ years) in 2004/05 we met Parul. She has been his therapist ever since, guiding him through for his social skills, perhaps the most challenging aspect in the triad of issues in Autism/Aspergers. This was through a number of planned sessions with her wonderful team of therapists- with role play being the methodology With her wizardry, Adi has navigated through high school and the teens. After we shifted to Vadodara she has been providing online support during his art college (diploma in Fine Arts from M.S.University, Vadodara which he has recently completed) She is our go-to person whenever there is a new behaviour problem or any such issue. And she suggests a solution, which more often than not worked. Another feather in her cap - Adi was recently introduced to this new online application Ko-VaaD, it looks like Parul has put all her knowledge behind this application. Best part about the application is, not only he is able to practice and improve his conversation skills, but there is no binding of time, he can talk whenever he wants –early morning – late night, on topics he loves, and with this, learn in his own free time.
