ComuniTEA’s exercise system gives children a structured, gamified path for practicing AAC communication skills beyond free-form use of the tablero. Exercises are organized into two groups — G2 (moderate support needs) and G3 (high support needs) — each containing five levels of progressively increasing complexity. Every level is composed of discrete exercises with clear visual instructions, immediate audio feedback, and a star reward based on accuracy. Progress is persisted across sessions so children can always pick up exactly where they left off.Documentation Index

Exercise groups overview
Group 2 (G2)
Designed for children with moderate TEA support needs who have emerging communicative intent. G2 exercises focus on emotion recognition, requesting help, category navigation, and turn-based response. The visual theme uses a soft blue background (
#F0F4FF).Group 3 (G3)
Designed for children with high support needs who are beginning to use single pictograms functionally. G3 exercises focus on basic symbol recognition, discrimination between two pictograms, expressing needs, and building a first two-pictogram phrase. The visual theme uses a warm linen background (
#F8F4E3).Group 2 levels (G2)
Level navigation path
Level 1 — Reconocer y Pedir 👋
Three exercises presenting 2–3 pictogram options. The child is given a spoken instruction (e.g., “¿Qué quieres? Toca lo que quieres”, “Toca el auto”) and must tap the correct item. Exercises introduce concrete vocabulary: food and toys. A hint (
pista) is spoken after an incorrect attempt.Exercises:- E1: Two options (Manzana / Jugo) — free choice request
- E2: Three options (Galleta / Auto / Oso) — identify the auto
- E3: Three options (Manzana / Plátano / Naranja) — identify the naranja
Level 2 — Mis emociones 💜
Three sub-exercises accessible via tab navigation, each targeting a different emotion recognition skill. The level intro voice says: “Nivel dos. Mis emociones. Mira las escenas y dime cómo se siente.”
| Sub-exercise | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| E1 | Reconocer | Tap the pictogram matching the emotion shown in a scene |
| E2 | Unir | Match emotion pictograms to their corresponding faces |
| E3 | Identificar | Identify which emotion the child in the scene is feeling |
Level 3 — Pedir ayuda 🙋
Three sub-exercises teaching the child to communicate help requests. The level intro says: “Nivel tres. Pedir ayuda. Aprende qué necesitas y a quién se lo dices.”
| Sub-exercise | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| E1 | ¿Qué necesito? | Identify what object or resource is needed from the scene |
| E2 | ¿Cómo lo digo? | Select the correct pictogram phrase to express the need |
| E3 | ¿A quién le pido? | Tap the correct person (Mamá / Profe / Nico) to ask for help |
Level 4 — Las Categorías 🗂️
Two-phase navigation exercises. In Phase A, the child taps the correct category tile for a given target. In Phase B, the full pictogram grid for that category is shown and the child picks the specific item. A third exercise uses the full live tablero in free-play mode.
- E1: Find
jugo— navigate Comida → Jugo (voice: “¿Dónde está el jugo? Toca la categoría.”) - E2: Find
feliz— navigate Emociones → Feliz (voice: “Quieres decir que estás feliz. ¿En qué categoría está?”) - E3: Open-ended: “Ahora tú decides. Dime algo usando la app.”
Level 5 — Turno y Respuesta 💬
Conversational-turn exercises where a teacher character asks a question and the child responds with a pictogram. Responses trigger personalized voice feedback.
- E1: “¿Qué quieres merendar?” → child picks from 5 food pictograms (Manzana, Galleta, Jugo, Pan, Queso)
- E2: “¿Cómo estás hoy?” → child picks from 4 emotion pictograms; app responds warmly
- E3: “¿Qué quieres hacer ahora?” → open activity selection; final voice: “¡Muy bien! Ya sabes usar ComuniTEA para hablar con los demás.”
Group 3 levels (G3)
G3 levels are designed to build communication from the ground up, following the PECS Phase I–V progression. Each level name has an evocative Spanish title to give the child a sense of narrative progression.| Level | Name | Emoji | Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | El Despertar | ☀️ | Tap a single large pictogram shown on screen |
| 2 | La Elección | 🔀 | Tap the named pictogram from two side-by-side options |
| 3 | Mis Necesidades | 💭 | Choose the correct pictogram from a two-option discrimination |
| 4 | Pedir Ayuda | 🤝 | Tap the contextually correct need-expression pictogram (Me duele / Quiero agua / Ayuda) |
| 5 | Mi Primera Frase | ✨ | Build a two-pictogram phrase: tap “Quiero” + the target object |
G3 Level 5 — My First Sentence
Level 5 is the culminating exercise: the child usesFormadorFrase (sentence builder) to tap two pictograms in sequence — the Quiero petición card and then the target object. The three exercises use Manzana, Galleta, and Juguete. Successfully completing this level unlocks the full tablero experience.
Star reward system
Stars are awarded at the end of each exercise based on the number of incorrect attempts made. G2 and G3 each define their own star helper:| Errors | Stars awarded |
|---|---|
| 0 | ⭐⭐⭐ (3 stars) |
| 1–2 | ⭐⭐ (2 stars) |
| 3+ | ⭐ (1 star) |
"2-E1", "3-1") in Zustand’s persisted stores and displayed in the level map as badge indicators.
Progress persistence
Both groups use Zustand stores with AsyncStorage persistence:isLevelUnlocked(nivel) gates access to each level: a level only unlocks once the previous one is marked complete via completeExercise(). The nivelBadgeState computed value drives the visual lock/unlock/active indicator on each level tile in the map screen.
Gamification: XP and levels
Completing exercises awards XP points. The XP system uses a scaling threshold defined inlib/gamification/xpLevel.ts:
| Level | XP required to advance |
|---|---|
| 1 | 80 XP |
| 2 | 120 XP |
| 3 | 160 XP |
| 4 | 200 XP |
| n | 80 + (n−1) × 40 XP |
