SELF REFLECTION ON APP REVIEW
The review of this app gives me very distinctive things between the language structures used by young children and those of an adult. Children like vivid demonstration such as pictures.

It is evident from the app review that children get some convection while playing the game and this helps them in their social communication. For instance, when they touch the monster different parts and the monster shows different reactions, the child must identify the parts which make the monster happy. This helps the child to develop a caring habit for others. It is also of great help to children with autistic disorders.
While creating apps, it is important to understand that children have a lower understanding of language code as compared to adults since they have not developed language skills. Creating apps using gestures and simple words is the solution. Children with SLI and ASD would require more usage of gestures and images. By doing this, technology will be serving a great role in facilitating language development of children. To add on this, if we can have our apps facilitating the children share their resources in the games like in the Mons...
