“…In order to use the application, it is necessary to inform the parents about the tasks and to allow their permission. Interaction with this application increases the children's cognitive and emotional learning motivation and it stimulates their cognitive functions of memory, attention and perception, while their motor skills are strengthened as they are asked to drag their finger to perform the activities [9].…”

“…The present literature research aims to investigate to what extent and how the developmental language learning sequence of Down syndrome children is different from typical development and therefore, it examines the evolutionary process of the various areas of their language, compared to typically developed children, and how the particular features of the syndrome, as well as other factors, contribute to impairments in specific areas of their language system. In addition, it examines the effectiveness of learning through mobile applications, when incorporating appropriate and suitable learning theories and facilitating the more personalized learning [8][9], in order to optimize their learning time and cognitive development [6].…”

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 mobile apps can significantly improve their cognitive functioning, in order to acquire academic and social skills that will ensure them an independent and quality life.

“…La aplicación presenta tres módulos: aprendizaje, práctica y aplicación o evaluación. Las actividades para cada vocal requieren su reconocimiento visual y auditivo; una tutora virtual guía las actuaciones del niño quienes reciben retroalimentación de sus intervenciones con emoticonos de cara feliz o triste y mensajes de apoyo (Escobar et al, 2017).…”

The thesis addresses the urgency of a sustainable society, emphasizing the importance of education in promoting values and competencies in the environmental field. Social inclusion, especially for individuals with functional diversity, and the transformative role of schools are crucial. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) play a crucial role in educational innovation. The doctoral thesis is integrated into the European SUSKIDS Education Project, aiming to provide guidance and pedagogical strategies to professionals for imparting sustainable knowledge to individuals with Down Syndrome. It analyzes the impact of a virtual platform on sustainability learning for this group, focusing on three main aspects: the use of digital tools in education, the presentation of an adapted digital platform, and its potential educational and support scope for the target audience.The research has been carried out in three phases. The first involved a literature review on three aspects: digital resources and virtual environments in education for individuals with Down Syndrome, integration of sustainability content, and evaluation of the educational process. The second phase collected information to develop instructional material and methodological guides, focusing on providing support to professionals and families, designing an adapted virtual platform, and assessing its usability and learning outcomes for individuals with Down Syndrome. The third phase involves verifying the utility of the SUSKIDS platform through the analysis of diverse data using descriptive statistics and Text mining techniques.The assessment of participant satisfaction with the materials and usability of the platform is crucial. The anticipated results of this research are expected to make significant contributions to understanding the adaptation of digital resources to the learning style of individuals with Down Syndrome, supporting their development as active citizens, and enhancing their future employability. The implementation of improvements based on the findings will conclude the cycle of this study focused on continuous improvement.
