PICTOAPRENDE: Application that contributes to the personal autonomy of children and youth with autism spectrum disorder in Ecuador

Andrea Cárdenas Edison Segovia Johanna Tobar Danni De la Cruz Paúl Mejía

This paper describes the PICTOAPRENDE application, which is designed to improve verbal communication and development of personal autonomy in children and youth with moderate autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Ecuador. PICTOAPRENDE is an application on Android platform, which provides options to children and young people to learn basic routines, emergency numbers and more. Facilitating integration into society through the use of digital communicators and pictograms. The area of intervention presents basic concepts related to ASD, as well as various problems both in behavior and in the development of the beneficiary population. Finally impact measurement was performed in a large sample reaching important results for research.

Autism Robotic Theater: a technological tool to contribute to the social interaction of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder

Periodicals of Engineering and Natural Sciences (PEN) (2021)

Johanna Tobar Álan Prócel David Loza Eduardo Caicedo E. Bacca

According to the World Health Organization, 0.62% of the world’s population has autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which is equivalent to 1 in 160 children. People with ASD have difficulties in communicative behaviors and social interaction. The assistance requirements to improve these deficits are complex. This research´s primary objective is to propose and implement a robotic theater called ART (Autism Robotic Theater) as a technological assistance tool to contribute to increase social interaction in children diagnosed with ASD. This robotic theater is based on a set of homogeneous humanoid robots performing gestures and actions. ART is formed by 3 NAO robots, a curtain, a narrator, and a software program that allows creating scripts easily and intuitively, to later interpret them. ART was presented in different sessions, to a group of children with ASD under two scenarios. The first scenario aims to encourage the interest and interaction of children with the tool. The second scenario uses the tool to develop a play where robots and children participate, encouraging interaction between them. From the results of an initial and a final evaluation of the children’s performance stands out an increase of 43.75% in the children’s imitation level and, increase of 39.58% in the children’s response and interaction with the robots. Despite the short evaluation time due to the pandemic, the results of the proposed structure have been favorable in the execution of the play in parallel with homogeneous robots and, the impact that the two scenarios have presented in children with TEA.

PICTOAPRENDE: Design and evaluation of a tool that contributes to the personal autonomy of children and youth diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder in Ecuador

CLEI electronic journal (2016)

Andrea Cárdenas Edison Segovia Danni De la Cruz Paúl Mejía Nancy Paredes

This paper presents the development and evaluation of PICTOAPRENDE, which is an interactive software designed to improve oral communication. Additionally, it contributes to the development of children and youth who are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Ecuador. To fulfill this purpose initially analyzes the intervention area where the general characteristics of people with ASD and their status in Ecuador is described. Statistical techniques used for this evaluation constitutes the basis of this study. A section that presents the development of research-based cognitive and social parameters of the area of intervention is also shown. Finally, the algorithms to obtain the measurements and experimental results along with the analysis of them are presented.

Voice — TOUCH GPS: Navegation and mobility assistant for people with visual disability in Ecuador

2022 17th Iberian Conference on Information Systems and Technologies (CISTI) (2017)

Angelo Rodriguez Danni De la Cruz Johanna Tobar Paúl Mejía Nancy Paredes

This article presents a mobility application of navegation directed to people with visual deficiency and disability. Visually disabled people cope with daily challenges in mobility and in their automony. VOICE-TOUCH GPS is an application that has two forms in order to interact with them. The first one lets the person use a smartphone with touch screen to have an auditory feedback. The second one interacts by means of a synthesizer which generates a text by voice and vice-versa. The application presents a graphic interface easy to use along with the help of a GPS. It will help the user know the latest location, the nearest bus stop, buses routes, make phone calls and send messages predetermined to the location. Furthermore, this article presents the functions of the application, requirements of functioning, social impact and the results obtained in people with total and partial visual deficiency in Ecuador.
