Paper Abstract:
|
This paper presents the process of developing an alternative communication tool to support the communication of people with cerebral palsy. This tool was developed aiming at improving the communication of cerebral palsy children allowing them to communicate with others through the selection of icons and images in an interface and for each item selected the software provides a synthesized sound related to its function. Thus, we developed such software using Android architecture, Portuguese language and intuitive figures in order to improve the communication of children. The software was tested in a Brazilian school that provides services for children with special needs. As a result, the software was considered effective for the task because the children could use the software. Some improvements were detected and should be developed in a future release. |
