Desarrollo de una aplicación web/móvil “juego de opuestos” dirigido para niños con discapacidad intelectual

Abstract

The integrating project was carried out in conjunction with the language therapists of the Motor Disability Fiscal Institute. This institute has the majority of children with an intellectual disability. The therapists give specialized classes to each child for their learning, which is why personalized tools are needed to help them. The objective of the project is to develop a Web/Mobile application “Game of Opposites” aimed at children with intellectual disabilities.

The methodology applied in the development of the project is Agile UX, a combination of Agile Extreme Programming methodology and User Experience where the objectives and advantages of both schemes are included. Prototyping was also integrated into User Experience, which allowed the creation of different application versions, an evaluation was made for each prototype.

Functionality tests measured the compliance of the requirements requested by them, The Mobile App Rating Scale gave a rating of 3 over 5 in web and mobile applications, indicating that the applications are adequate and of high quality for their use. The Operable guidelines of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 and the Mobile App Rating Scale assessments helped to see the application from different approaches and categories in order to improve it in specific aspects, such as: usability, aesthetics, accessibility and navigability.
