Framework for the design of accessible software to support users with autism: A proposal oriented from the HCI
Abstract
Este documento presenta los avances actuales de la investigación realizada hasta el tercer año del Doctorado en Ciencias de la Electrónica de la Universidad del Cauca (COL), codirigido por profesionales de la Universidad Francisco de Vitoria (ESP) y Universidad Portucalense (POR), que partiendo de la reflexión de la carencia de software accesible que permita apoyar las actividades terapéuticas, basadas en el manejo en torno al comportamiento y la comunicación de niños con Trastorno de Espectro Autista -TEA, busca obtener una propuesta de un framework para el diseño de aplicaciones inclusivas que permitan el desarrollo de software basado en la accesibilidad y el enfoque en el autismo, y también mejorar la interacción social mediante el uso de las aplicaciones desarrolladas. El estudio se basa en el uso de aplicaciones computacionales enfocadas al fortalecimiento de las habilidades sociales y motivacionales, así como las características vinculadas a los procesos de tratamiento de niños con TEA. Todo esto se valida mediante métricas y análisis cualitativos y cuantitativos con indicadores de evaluación sobre la apropiación o fortalecimiento de habilidades emocionales en niños con TEA y la definición de las características del software identificadas con técnicas de co-diseño que incluye a los mismos niños. Las herramientas consideradas son instrumentos para recopilar información no invasiva, filmar actividades y analizar emociones a través del reconocimiento de sus expresiones faciales. Entre los principales avances se presenta los resultados de la revisión sistemática de la literatura y de un estudio de caso, donde se obtiene la identificación de las características funcionales y no funcionales más relevantes del software aplicado en el tratamiento del TEA, así como la propuesta de framework para el diseño de aplicaciones informáticas inclusivas enfocadas en usuarios con esta discapacidad cognitiva.
This document presents the current advances of the third year of research in the Doctorate in Electronic Sciences at the University of Cauca (COL), co-directed by professionals from the Francisco de Vitoria University (ESP) and the Portucalense University (POR), who, starting from the analysis about the lack of accessible software that supports therapies, based on the management around behavior and communication of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder -ASD, look for a proposal for a framework for the design of accessible applications that allow the development of software based on accessibility and focus on autism, and also improve social interaction through the use of the applications developed.The study is based on the use of software focused on strengthening social and motivational skills, also on the characteristics of the treatment processes of children with ASD. The procedure is validated through metrics and qualitative and quantitative analysis with evaluation indicators on the appropriation or strengthening of emotional skills in children with ASD and the definition of the characteristics of the software developed with co-design techniques that involve the children themselves. The tools considered are non-invasive instruments to collect information, film activities and analyze emotions through the recognition of their facial expressions. Of the main advances achieved, the results of the systematic review of the literature and a case study are presented, where the identification of the most relevant functional and non-functional characteristics of the software applied in the treatment of ASD is obtained, as well as the proposal framework for the design of accessible computer applications focused on users with this cognitive disability.
