An assistive computerized system for children with moderate intellectual and learning disabilities

Abstract

We aim in this project to develop a system for children with intellectual and learning disabilities that supports collaboration, data exploration, communication and creativity. The system offers specific tutorials on basic concepts. It can enhance the communications and learning capabilities of the children. The tutorial contents contains multimedia elements that help the children understand effectively the topics. An assessment component is being developed to evaluate the children understanding. Parents can also be involved in the learning process by adding some contents suitable to their children.

Computer-Assisted Intervention (Cai) to Enhance Mathematical Learning of Autistic Students: A Case Study in Melaka

“…Consequently, it is essential to seek out an effective intervention that can help and improve the lives of the autistic persons (Lindgren & Doobay, 2011). Alja'am and Jaoua (2011) reported that autistic children who are experiencing learning difficulties can be assisted by providing them with suitable assistance and various learning materials, with some encouragement. According to Corsello (2005), each intervention program is founded on a distinctive approach and adopts unique intervention strategies, which focus on support and learning environment for autistic persons apart from supporting these persons replace the challenging behaviour with more proper behaviour.…”

Body-centric antenna positioning effects for off-body UWB communications in a contemporary learning environment

“…Ubiquitous learning technology can support dyslexic, visually impaired and foreign language learners [4][5][6] and immersive technologies such as high definition Augmented Reality (AR) can provide students with an inclusive and engaging experience [7]. The same is also true for the business community, giving architects, engineers, artists and clinicians a futuristic method to share vision and creativity in conference/meeting room environments.…”
