“…The possibility of game-based cognitive training as a cognitive rehabilitation tool was confirmed by verifying significant differences before and after intervention of game-based cognitive training programs through analysis of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) [34]. In addition, a study on 20 students with intellectual disabilities found that by increasing concentration through video games, perception ability improved, which in turn led to an improvement of their learning ability [35]. Although game-based cognitive training programs have been reported to induce interest and be effective in different target groups and have the possibility to be applied at home, research on children with intellectual disabilities is insufficient.…”

Early detection and repeated learning training of children with intellectual disabilities are important factors that are directly related to the quality of future life of such children. However, implementation of such programs is challenging, as the subjects are still children. Therefore, motivation and interest are important for children with intellectual disabilities to carry out continuous training. In this study, Neuro-World, a game-based cognitive training program, was proposed for motivation and interest induction, and its effectiveness was compared with that of a conventional cognitive training program through analysis after both programs were implemented by professional therapists. The pre-test and post-test results of the game-based cognitive training program were statistically significant and showed superiority in the comparison with the conventional program. Therefore, the game-based cognitive training program developed in this study through digital media is expected to be effective in improving cognitive learning ability.

Una realidad de índole social que demanda atención es la necesidad que tienen algunas organizaciones que trabajan con personas con discapacidad intelectual de estar informados del estado cognitivo de sus pacientes. El presente trabajo describe la propuesta de un sistema de detección de discapacidad intelectual en base a un modelo de evaluación de discapacidades para apoyar con eficiencia la gestión técnica y administrativa de las asociaciones y federaciones de personas con discapacidad. Bajo un enfoque descriptivo se presenta la metodología de desarrollo del sistema, la arquitectura tecnológica, las interfaces de las pruebas psicológicas incluidas en la propuesta, así como la evaluación de la productividad al usar dicho sistema. Como resultado se obtuvo que sta propuesta de automatización del diagnóstico de discapacidad intelectual ayuda a agilizar y facilitar los procesos administrativos y técnicos con una notable mejora en los tiempos de los procesos incurridos.

Impact of Assistive Technologies to Inclusive Education and Independent Life of Down Syndrome Persons: A Systematic Literature Review and Research Agenda

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Since the beginning of the 21st century, the lifespan of people born with Down syndrome (DS) has increased. They now outlive their parents and rely on their relatives who usually sacrifice their own families to care for their disabled siblings. To reduce the pressure on families and the wider community, it is crucial to prepare DS people for independent life from early childhood. Emerging technologies can significantly support the process of acquiring the skills that are necessary for solving real-life problems at home and work. To assess their impact and estimate how much they are implemented in inclusive education, a review of 564 papers published after 2015 was done using the PRISMA review model. After gradual exclusion, 24 papers were used for the final review. Thematic analysis resulted in four themes with one common concept: variety. The results of examining the four research questions defined in the paper’s background confirm that the synergy of emerging assistive technologies and inclusive education has the potential of becoming a very effective strategy for creating an independent life for DS individuals. Many questions remain open, mainly related to a DS persons’ specific needs and capabilities. The acceptance of the proposed synergy will depend on them.
