The goal of this study was to train children's respiration with communication barriers using a colloid system and to educate children on how colloids form. The single group pretest-posttest design method was used in this study. The subjects were four children who experience communication barriers, two children with hearing impairment who use a cochlear implant, and two children with intellectual disabilities. The steps taken were as follows: 1) providing a video on how to make soap foam (colloid), 2) before beginning the activity, subjects were asked several questions about the designed activity to assess the subject's understanding of the material, and 3) following the completion of the soap-making process, the subjects were asked to blow the soap foam to train the respiration and an anemometer was used to determine the speed and strength of the blow, 4) then a posttest was given to assess the subject's comprehension of the material presented. The findings of this study showed that all subjects could participate in the making soap foam activity and understand that when water was added to soap, it produced foam. The foam was blown from a certain distance to assess the subject's respiratory ability. Although the measurement results were quite variable, however, if the activity is repeated regularly, it can improve the subject's respiratory ability. © School of Engineering, Taylor's University
