Cold Aid is an interactive application designed to help parents figure out if their child has a cold or a more serious illness.

It has audio that is closed-captioned (be sure to click it on).  It asks you a number of questions about the child’s symptoms, and then reaches a conclusion and offers a recommendation.

It’s accessible to Early Intermediate English Language Learners, and would teach content knowledge about health as well as provide a language development activity.

I’ve placed the link on my English For Beginners page at the bottom of the extensive Health section.
