This paper demonstrates the development of a multimedia courseware that can be used to educate children with Learning Disabilities (LD). The use of game-based courseware could help those with LD to explore their capabilities without having to pressure them to catch up with other friend but to let them learn in their own pace of time. The courseware can be used as a medium to educate children with...
Our research aims to aid children with Asperger Syndrome in communication by information technology. We proposed an interactive prototype to assist children to communicate with people at school, home or care centre. Our main concern is to have the design that is affordable and portable. Our prototype emphasizes on localization of contents, it allows each user to create and import the self related...
This study focuses on how to design teaching materials for learning disabled students. User-friendly and user-centred interface design are the basic rules. In this study, we understand different needs from different learning disabled students, then design and made customer-made teaching materials, it is discussed to explicate why the design worked well and how it can be improved on different case...
With the upsurge of the reform of special education courses, using modern educational technology to enhance the level of classroom teaching deaf students and comprehensive capacity of students, has increasingly become a hot issue in special education field. By a simple analyzing that Moodle based on the open source network teaching platform and the model of deaf group collaborative learning, author...
The reported work advances the state-of-the-art in assistive technology for the blind by enhancing a low-cost automated tutor designed to teach Braille writing skills to visually impaired children using voice feedback. We first provide some background on how the methodology of Intelligent Tutoring Systems correlates to an automated tutor for teaching Braille writing skills. We then build on prior...
This paper presents the design of Educational Software for children between the range of three to five years old studying the preschool level and who presents a problem of audition. Preschool children are taught through gaming and exploring mechanisms, for that reason this elements had been taken in consideration to make this software attractive to them. Individuals who are deaf require visual or...
The general context of the work presented in this paper is assistive robotics with our long-term aim to support children with autism. This paper is part of the Aurora project that studies ways in which robotic systems can encourage basic communication and social interaction skills in children with autism. This paper investigates how a small minimally expressive humanoid robot KASPAR can assume the...
This paper describes the findings of a comparative study looking at how children with different types of disabilities can take advantage of the use of ICT to support them in their learning experience.
Designing learning software for a special target group should not only focus on the pupils but also on the teacher. A successful development of a computer supported learning environment for pupils with cognitive disabilities should not only fulfil the special needs of the pupils. Using computers for everyday teaching has also to take into account teacherspsila possible lack of technical competence...
A cognitive disability represents a substantial limitation in mental tasks (such as planning, information processing, and understanding of social cues) that reduces a person's ability to perform desired activities. Cognitive disabilities can arise because of congenital or acquired causes. Assistive technology can reduce the affect of these disabilities and provide improved quality of life. A number...
