Bubble Dialogue was originally developed in HyperCard for Macintosh by Bill O’Neill and Harry McMahon of the language and communication group at the University of Ulster , Coleraine. It is designed to support discussion and role play and has been used for citizenship and values education. It has been widely used in research and found to be a powerful tool for investigating communication and social skills, particularly for adults and children with special needs. One difficulty, though, has been the fact that the software was developed for Macintosh computers using Hypertext. The new version developed by DialogBox runs in Windows and has audio input.

This new version of Bubble Dialogue is available free to download below. In exchange we would appreciate your help. We would like to know:
