HEDE Education Details
Hede Education created Veekaboo for parents and caregivers who want to accelerate language development, increase parent and child interaction, and reduce communicative frustration with sign language specifically designed for pre-k children. Veekaboo is a sign language tablet based app that teaches both hearing and deaf children through sets of fun interactive educational activities like storytelling, musical rhythm, games and vocabulary. It reinforces learning by visual association and repetitive structure that enriches pre-verbal words like 'milk' 'diaper' 'please' and advanced STEM vocabularies like "moon" "electricity" "boiling". Unlike other sign language products for children, Veekaboo encourages both pre-verbal and early language development through various activities. Veekaboo capitalizes on the brain's capability to process language prior to the child's ability to translate thought into vocalized words. The advancement in language development accelerates syntax as well.
