JOHSAN - A multisensorial system to support the teaching-stimulation processes with children suffering from brain paralysis

Abstract:

The latent global problems present in the teaching to children with disabilities can be seen on the construction of plenty of prototypes used in this area. On this work, it is presented a multi-sensorial system to help the teaching-stimulation processes with the children suffering from brain paralysis, which was developed with the therapists. For this, an embedded system is presented; this is formed by three main stages: in the first one there are the therapist, the family and the mobile application, on the second one there are the master devices with their feedback system, and on the third one there are the three slave gadgets and the child for the basic colors and/or geometric shape selection. For the validation tests, three therapy sessions were carried out. The stimulation is auditory, visual, and motor; each one with 19 requests about different topics that can be colors, shapes, and the combination of both. Due to the system is Wi-Fi, the tests are carried out in two different environments.
