“…➢ The use of multimedia material -videos, images, sounds, animations -stimulates their interest in active learning and increases, significantly, their attention span (which, usually, ranges from 3-15 minutes). ➢ They offer the possibility of self-regulated learning, so that each child proceeds with the activities according to his/her individual pace and having the necessary time to process the information, which are prerequisites for a correct answer [153,156,158,159]. Finally, it must be made clear that the main goal of Down syndrome children's contact with ICTs is to acquire early digital skills and to realize that their interaction with them is subject to a "cause and effect" relationship, since they control the sounds, they hear and the images, they see through a switch, a mouse click, a keyboard key, or a touch of a screen.…”

“…The integration, in the educational design of "MEL-SindD", of the ARCS motivation model, aims to motivate students to maximize the time and intensity of the effort, in order to acquire targeted knowledge and skills, through techniques of attracting interest, maintaining attention them, enhancing their self-confidence and the relevance of the educational material to their experiences, so that they experience a satisfaction that emerges from positive learning experiences. At the same time, it uses the theory of double coding, by processing of information intake through two sensory channels, the auditory and the visual, and of active learning, by providing opportunities for high interactions of children with the educational material [158,166].…”

Down syndrome is considered to be one of the most prevalent genetic causes of intellectual disability, derived from chromosomal disorder, which accounts for dysfunctions in many organs and has a characteristic phenotype, which consists of physical and behavioral features. Many studies have shown that language is one of the most impaired areas of function in Down syndrome and perhaps, the highest barrier for their substantial inclusion into formal education and community. The aim of this paper is to investigate the specific features of this linguistic phenotype, presenting the strengths and weaknesses of their language, as well as the factors that contribute to their formation, compared to normally developing children. In addition, it scopes to highlight the role of educational mobile apps, as innovative and interactive tools for the developmental learning of Down syndrome children. The results of the research indicate that their language goes through the same, with typical development sequences, but progressively erases a slowing trajectory and results in lower performance. However, the use of ICT tools can, significantly, improve language, literacy and sort-term memory skills, but also stimulate their cognitive and fine mobile functioning, in order to upgrade their quality of life.

“…From the analysis done, it shows that MAIL-SinD need to be improved on its interface design. As stated by [14], the interface design has to be suitable and can function well in delivering the learning information in effective and accurate way. DS children also have a literacy difficulties, hence the usage of multimedia elements could be very helpful in overcome this barrier.…”

Mobile technology has expanded the use of information technology; it is now more than just a communication device. The use of mobile technology has also become more imperative to the education industry. Studies show that the use of mobile technology not only can aid the teaching and learning for the mainstream classrooms, but also can assist the teaching and learning of the mentally disabled students. The children with Down syndrome (DS) have special needs in their teaching and learning environments. Mobile learning environment can assists the DS children to be more focus during their learning activities. This paper presents about the user experience study of a mobile numerical application for Down syndrome children using MAIL-SinD as a prototype for mobile numerical application. The prototype was tested to nine DS students from Ipoh Down syndrome Centre (IDSC). This paper propose further enhancement of the prototype due to low mean score of the analysis on the user experience testing.
