▼ For decades, the educational system has been concerned with school readiness and the approaches educational institutions follow to ensure that students enter school with the necessary skills to be successful. However, determining what school readiness entails has been a controversial topic since the establishment of educational goals by the national government (Fantuzzo & McWayne, 2002; Mashburn & Pianta, 2006; Pyle, Bates, Greif, & Furlong, 2005). School readiness is a milestone that concerns both parents and educators, and it affects academic planning in schools. Parents and teachers are concerned with students’ abilities to master key areas such vocabulary, print motivation, print awareness, letter knowledge (LK), phonological awareness (PA), and rapid automatized naming (RAN). The three latter skills will translate into fluency, accuracy, and effective comprehension which are key factors in school readiness (Norton, 2012). As early as five years of age, children at risk for dyslexia begin to exhibit deficiencies in LK, PA and RAN. These students exhibit early signs of dyslexia and correspondingly exhibit poor academic performance regardless of possessing high cognitive ability (Pyle et al., 2005). The primary purpose of this quantitative research was to study teachers’ perceptions of the role of technology in teaching students who have been diagnosed as having dyslexia. This research also investigated the types of technology teachers currently use in the classroom and the teachers’ perceptions on the use of technology by students diagnosed as having dyslexia. This study explored what type, if any, of technology is currently being used in the classroom and the teachers’ views on this instructional approach. An online survey was used to gather the pertinent data and to document teachers’ perceptions on the role of technology in teaching students with dyslexia once the corresponding professionals have confirmed the diagnosis. The findings of this study generated new awareness about teachers’ perspective on the use of technology to teach these students. This study also generated understanding about the type of Assistive Technology (AT) available to promote academic advancement for students with dyslexia in the classroom.  Additionally, this research provided information regarding the benefits students with dyslexia obtain from the use of AT as a teaching and learning tool. This information may promote the incorporation of technology in the curriculum and lesson planning for these students.

A presente pesquisa teve por objetivo analisar a utilização de Tecnologia Assistiva na escolarização de crianças com Necessidades Educacionais Especiais (NEE). O método utilizado foi estudo de caso com abordagem qualitativa, cujos participantes foram uma aluna com NEE (paralisia cerebral), a professora da educanda, especialista da área de educação especial e oito professores que atuam na sala de aula do ensino regular. A coleta de dados ocorreu mediante a observação de 16 sessões na sala de aula do Apoio Especializado Itinerante (AEI) de uma escola pública e aplicação de questionário, com questões abertas, a professores da sala regular de ensino nas áreas específicas do Currículo do Estado de São Paulo. Os resultados indicaram que em atendimento especializado, a Tecnologia Assistiva permite a acessibilidade das crianças com necessidades especiais, com bom aproveitamento, a diferentes atividades educacionais; professores do ensino regular revelaram determinada resistência à inclusão, pela ausência de formação continuada extensiva aos docentes não especialistas; as Tecnologias Assistivas são pouco conhecidas pelos professores que atuam na sala de aula do ensino regular.

▼ This research aimed to understand the impact of transfer lift technology on the experience of parents caring for their adult children with a disability. Seven parent caregivers between the ages of 53-69 participated in individual interviews. For aging parent caregivers, the physical effort of daily lifting responsibilities places them at risk for back pain, fatigue and other health problems. To ease the physical load, transfer lifts are frequently recommended. Transfer lift devices function to lift individuals up mechanically from one surface, transport them to another location and safely lower them onto the new surface. A mixed methods approach was utilized for this research, including a quantitative survey, the Caregiver Assistive Technology Outcome Measure, and open-ended interview questions. Both approaches were employed to gain insight into changes in the parent participant’s experience as caregiver since acquiring a transfer lift. Comparison of data revealed shared findings that showed transfer lift technology positively impacts the experience of middle and old age parent caregivers. Findings confirmed that transfer lifts are consistently utilized in the home by the parent participants and/or by other caregivers to transfer the adult child with a disability. The study also provided insight into emotional and physical stress that parent participants reported in relation to transferring adult children with disability. Since acquiring a transfer lift in the home, parent participants reported significantly reduced levels of worry over safety for their child and themselves and decreased physical strain. The major advantages of having a transfer lift in the home were identified as the decreased level of emotionalstress and physical lifting load. Due to this reduced physical load and increased level of safety, parent participants benefit from having a wider group of caregivers available to care for the adult child. Findings also revealed challenges of using transfer lift technology. These include difficulty managing the sling before and after transfers and an increased amount of time required when using the lift. The results of this study lead to meaningful considerations for clinicians to share with individuals with disabilities and their caregivers who are considering transfer lift technology.

▼ Stroke is a debilitating neurological condition caused by a dysfunction in the flow of blood to the brain (Stroke.org, 2016). The onset of stroke can result in complex disability that may require long term rehabilitation (Duncan, 1994). The deterioration of psychosocial well-being is one of the many issues that may result from the formation of disability in an individual (Aström, 1992). Dunn (2000) defines psychosocial as “how people think and feel about, influence, and relate to actual, imagined, or assumed others”. It is about how our concept of self in influences our relationships with others and vice versa. The purpose of this research is to investigate what in influence digitally connected communities can have on psychosocial recovery from stroke. This will be achieved through the creation of a web application. This web application will expand on the idea of DIY and non-intentional design (Brandes, 2008) and apply it in a rehabilitative manner. Non-intentional design is defined by Brandes (2008, p) as, “the everyday, unprofessional redesign of professionally designed objects. NID results when an object is used in a manner different from the prescribed (and therefore restricted) functional intention or when the prescribed application is not honoured in the new uses”. The intention being that influencing assistive technology use in a positive way can help a person accept disability into their concept of self and help that person to regain confidence to engage with others socially. This research initially canvasses literature reviews (Hanington et al, 2012) to analyze the psychosocial, elderly engagement with web applications, and to develop heuristics to guide the design of the web application. Subsequently, I have used precedent reviews (Hanington et al, 2012) to analyze DIY assistive technology documentation in an online environment. Finally, I utilised a Research through design (Frayling, 1993) approach to inform the creation of this DIY assistive technology and the web application. User testing of the web application was then performed. The testing took the participants through the process of using the web application via a set list of tasks and also asked them to recreate one of the three available DIY assistive technology examples.

▼ Assistive technology (AT) helps make the curriculum accessible to students with visual impairments. Studies have shown that half of these students are using assistive technologies. The purpose of this study was to seek a better understanding of the various factors related to assistive technology use by students with visual impairments in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Through the use of the online survey provider, Survey Monkey™, an invitation to participate in the Assistive Technology Use by Students with Visual Impairments (ATSVI) survey was sent to a list of all TVIs teaching in Kentucky. Of 117 invited participants, 71% responded and 62% of the questionnaires met the criteria of inclusion. Demographic data were gathered on the TVIs, including years of experience, degrees obtained, caseload size, size and type of employing district (residential or non-residential) and the extent and areas of AT training. Teachers also provided data about their student AT use, including the extent of low and high-tech use according to the student's primary learning media. Additionally, TVIs provided AT funding source data. Significant correlation was not found between the size of employing district, years of teaching experience, level of education, specific areas of AT training and the extent of assistive technology use. Significant negative correlation was found between TVI caseload size and the extent of AT use. Significant positive correlation was found between the amount of overall AT training and the extent of AT use. Several conclusions were made from the study's results. To increase assistive technology use by students with visual impairments, 1) TVIs should be encouraged to seek more AT training and AT providers should consider developing more on-line training, 2) training should be developed in specific AT areas according to TVIs surveyed needs, 3) TVI caseload sizes need to be smaller, and 4) TVIs need to be familiar with the large array of funding sources available for AT.

▼ This commentary reflects on a series of published research articles, 1996-2013, that form a PhD thesis by publication. The articles offer evidence of research into best practice relating to Assistive Technology (AT) product design as a specialist section of Industrial Design (ID). The aim of the research has been to provide AT product developers with a methodology that ordered and prioritised the application of proven research methods, design methods and design heuristics; as well as, to highlight the fundamental concepts that underpin the methodology. This commentary provides a review of the methods applied and discussion of their efficacy within each case study. The series of articles, evaluated at a meta-analysis level in the second part of the commentary, address the following research questions: 1) What is the optimum order and priority of conventional design methods, heuristics and research methods when applied within a new product development process for assistive technology products?, 2) Through a meta-analysis of case studies, are there key aspects that underpin an optimum AT-ID process? From the review, 61 research methods, design methods and heuristics were defined. An order of methods and heuristics identified some methods that were used throughout all phases of a NPD process that included literature review, benchmarking, mixed methods and participatory research. The methods and heuristics used in all phases highlighted a user-centred approach and the close collaboration with end users and stakeholders. There was also a focus of methods and heuristics around phase 2 of the 5 design process phases defined by Martin and Hannington. The critical review also highlighted key underpinning aspects that helped optimise an Industrial Design approach to ID-AT NPD. These were 1) creating a format for dialogue within the constraints of perception and 2) previous experience and the application of ethically sound protocols for the whole process. Lastly the change of terminology and attitudes of those working the Assistive Technology industry highlighted the need for more research into social acceptance of all aspects of Assistive Technology and the perception of disability from those living with impairment and by UK society as a whole.

▼ Relative infrequency of communication initiation, particularly initiations that involve attention-sharing or other social purposes, appears to negatively impact the later-life outcomes of children with autism. Strategies to improve or encourage initiation skills in autism are hampered by the need for the behaviour to be spontaneous (i.e. unprompted by a partner). One potential approach that addresses the spontaneity issue is to extrinsically motivate initiations by changing aspects of the child’s environment such that they merit, or even demand, initiating a communication. Detecting subjectively inconsistent (i.e. discrepant) aspects in game-like virtual contexts appears to be something that inherently interests young children with autism, and can motivate them to initiate spontaneous, positive communications. Initial evidence for discrepancy as a communicative motivator came from a study which re-analysed video data from an existing autism and technology project (ECHOES), illustrating that a heterogeneous group of children all reacted frequently and socially to naturally occurring (i.e. unintentional, non-designed) discrepant aspects within ECHOES. A set of high-level design principles was developed in order to capture “lessons learned” from ECHOES that might facilitate re-creation of a similar pattern of spontaneous, positive initiation around discrepancy. A second, proof-of-concept study implemented these design principles in a set of three new touch-screen games (Andy’s Garden) that sought to establish, and then deliberately violate, child expectations (i.e. provide discrepancy-detection opportunities: DDOs). Children reacted socially and positively to the new games and DDOs. The results of this study allow us to answer its overall questions affirmatively: it is possible to motivate children’s communication–specifically, their initiation–by including deliberately-designed DDOs in a set of games. These findings are the first step towards determining whether discrepancy-detection opportunities may form a component of a future technology-based communication skills intervention, capable of changing children’s initiation behaviour outside of a game context.

▼ Proprioception is defined as the ability to know the position of the body in time and space exploiting the information arising from the periphery. It has long been recognized that impaired proprioception may severely affect the control of voluntary movements. However, the impact of these impairments on motor functions has been difficult to elucidate for two reasons: the qualitative nature of available clinical tests and the lack of instrumentation to accurately manipulate human limbs to measure proprioceptive performance. The recent advent of robotic interfaces designed for rehabilitation provides potential tools to quantitatively evaluate proprioceptive function. Up to this point, robotic devices have focused on testing single degree-of-freedom (DoF) joints such as the elbow, or were only capable of displacing or moving a joint in a single plane. The devices used to test multi-joint proprioception have a high level of complexity that require trained specialists to be implemented in clinics and can be cost prohibitive. Motivated by the lack of quantitative data on wrist proprioception and the lack of simple and cost-effective robotic protocols for assessment of arm proprioception, this thesis proposes quantitative tests which employ a 3 DoF wrist device and a low-cost planar robot. These robotic devices have first been used to evaluate the sensitivity and reliability of different robotic proprioceptive assessments in healthy individuals. The methodologies include a psychometric task in which participants are asked to discriminate two different positions while feedback is limited to proprioception, the joint position matching (JPM) task, in which participants actively match a predefined target and a revised version of the JPM task designed to overcome the limitations associated to motor impairments often present as a result of brain damage. These studies demonstrate that the quantitative metrics are sensitive and reliable over repeated testing and suitable for proprioceptive evaluation of intact joints. The effect of handedness, available feedback and external forces on proprioceptive measures has been analyzed, as well as the role assignment in the processing of sensory feedback during bimanual tasks and bimanual proprioception. No evidence of proprioceptive dominance was found, while there was a decline in performance when matching a target configuration which is visually and kinesthetically presented. Accuracy and precision in target matching do not change significantly as a function of an external load, while proprioceptive acuity was superior and more consistent during unimanual tasks compared to the bimanual case. Finally, the clinical applicability and validity of the robotic assessment of proprioception was evaluated. The methodology was employed to quantitatively assess deficits in acute, sub-acute and chronic patients. The test was found to be inherently simple such that all participants, regardless of motor impairment level, could complete it in less than 10 minutes. Further, the method provides…

O processo de hospitalização compromete diversos aspectos da vida do paciente, além das questões relacionadas a própria patologia o indivíduo vivencia a ruptura de seu cotidiano, afastando-se da realização de suas atividades, do convívio familiar e social, do trabalho e lazer. O terapeuta ocupacional atua no contexto hospitalar auxiliando o paciente a criar sistemas de apoio para que o mesmo tenha condições de enfrentar as dificuldades trazidas pela internação, Para isso, o profissional pode utilizar de vários recursos, entre esses a Tecnologia Assistiva, desenvolvida para permitir o aumento da autonomia e independência de idosos, de pessoas com deficiência ou com mobilidade reduzida em suas atividades. Este trabalho tem como objetivo conhecer as mesas auxiliares utilizadas por pacientes durante o processo de hospitalização, com suas possibilidades de adequações e diferentes usos, e propor requisitos de projeto para um novo modelo que possibilite uso dos indivíduos com diferentes capacidades. Para atingir estes objetivos foi realizado levantamento através de catálogos de produtos hospitalares das mesas auxiliares disponíveis no mercado nacional, descritas as características físicas desse móvel, além disso, Terapeutas Ocupacionais que atuam em hospitais foram convidados a participar respondendo um questionário sobre a mesa auxiliar disponível em seu local de trabalho. Esses profissionais indicaram as características físicas dos móveis e opinaram sobre ajustes e melhorias necessárias para otimizar o uso da mesa auxiliar a fim de permitir maior funcionalidade aos paciente. Ao todo foram identificados 38 modelos de mesa auxiliar nos catálogos de produtos hospitalares, 37 modelos possibilitam a regulagem de altura, através de mecanismos de guias cromadas na maioria das mesas. A base das mesas é confeccionada em aço inoxidável e 36 modelos possuem rodízios. Segundo os sujeitos da pesquisa para promover maior independência ao paciente internado torna-se necessário que esse móvel possibilite maior regulagem de altura, uso em diferentes situações, apresente base apoiada diretamente sobre o solo, bordas elevadas para evitar a queda de objetos e inclinação do tampo. Com base nos dados coletados nos catálogos, nas respostas dos participantes e considerando princípios ergonômicos propõem-se requisitos para o projeto de um móvel mais versátil que possibilite ao paciente a maior funcionalidade possível.

The hospitalization process commit various aspects of the patient\'s life in addition to issues related to the individual experiencing the pathology the disruption of their daily lives, moving away from performing their duties, the family and social life, work and leisure. The occupational therapist works in the hospital helping the patient to create support systems so that it is able to face the difficulties brought about by hospitalization for this, the practitioner can use various resources, among these the Assistive Technology, developed to enable the increased autonomy and independence of the elderly, people with…

O presente trabalho investiga as diculdades enfrentadas por decientes visuais ao ingressarem em um curso de nvel superior em Música, onde a troca de informacão musical escrita é frequente e se dá por meio de partituras impressas em tinta, e a conversão deste material para braille demanda conhecimentos específicos e disponibilidade de recursos. Igualmente problemática, a produção musical do aluno cego é feita em braille, seja para tomar nota de aulas como para realizar tarefas de disciplinas como Contraponto, Harmonia e Análise Musical, ou mesmo para a realização de exames. Claramente, esse material deve passar por um processo de conversão para que o professor possa avaliar o aluno, entre outros motivos. O foco principal da pesquisa realizada é a analise da musicografia braille sob a ótica das possibilidades de se produzir transcrições automáticas entre partituras em braille e tinta, a fim de prover recursos tecnológicos direcionados a solução deste problema. Para tanto, foi desenvolvido um aplicativo capaz de receber informação musical em braille e converê-la para o formato MusicXML, adequado para a leitura a partir de outros aplicativos de notação musical e, consequentemente, a impressão deste material em tinta. Este programa esta sendo distribudo como software livre sob licenca LGPL, contrapondo-se as suas alternativas hoje existentes no mercado. O aplicativo desenvolvido foi utilizado e avaliado por usuarios decientes visuais e com visão normal por meio de um questionário. Os dados foram então analisados, buscando mapear as diferenças nas experiências de uso e verificar necessidades de melhorias e novas funcionalidades, buscando com isso o aprofundamento nas questões pertinentes ao problema e dando suporte a novas pesquisas relativas ao assunto.

This work researches visually-impaired person\'s dificulties when studying music as a university career, where musical information is usually forwarded as ink-printed sheet music and the translation of this material to braille involves specic skills and resource availability. In that sense, the musical production demanded from a blind student is accomplished by using braille notation, for taking notes or producing homework for disciplines like Harmony, Musical Analysis, or even to take tests. Clearly the information produced has to be submitted to a conversion process, and finally it can be reviewed by the professor or other students. The main focus of this research is the understanding of braille music aspects and the problem of generating automatic ink-printed sheet music transcriptions, providing assistive resource for music students. For attaining this goal, an application was developed in order to receive braille music input and translate it to MusicXML format, which can be read by any of the widely MusicXML compatible softwares available for reading, editing and printing music. The program is distributed as free software under LGPL license, as opposed to currently available alternatives. The resulting application was tested by visually-impaired and non-visually…

A tecnologia assistiva envolve serviços, recursos e práticas que considerando as necessidades e habilidades específicas do usuário promovem sua máxima participação na atividade desejada. A educação faz tecnologia assistiva à medida que investiga necessidades e propõe alternativas que promovam a participação do aluno com deficiência nos desafios do contexto escolar visando a promoção da autonomia e a aprendizagem. Esta pesquisa estudou a tecnologia assistiva e sua aplicação em um serviço educacional, constituído em rede interdisciplinar, que apóia a educação de alunos com deficiência física, numa perspectiva de educação inclusiva. Foi desenvolvida a partir de uma metodologia de pesquisa-ação e contou com a participação de educadores especializados e de gestores da Educação Especial do município de Florianópolis. O serviço de tecnologia assistiva foi investigado por meio da intervenção da pesquisadora com os professores colaboradores em atividades de estudos e a partir do seguimento prático de três casos de alunos com deficiência. A ação refletida propôs um novo Design ao serviço de tecnologia assistiva e o referencial teórico estudado considerou especialmente os documentos do Consórcio EUSTAT, do Portale SIVA e autores como Andrich, Clementi, Scherer, Kintsch e dePaula. A pesquisa discute também os documentos WATI e MACOMB e o procedimento de avaliação em tecnologia assistiva SETT, de Zabala. A descrição das práticas vivenciadas durante a pesquisa descortinam uma realidade rica de interrogações no campo da Educação, Design e Reabilitação, apontando novos desafios de pesquisas nestas três áreas do conhecimento. Percebe-se a importância de uma ação complementar e interdisciplinar na perspectiva do desenvolvimento de ferramentas e estratégias que favoreçam o processo educacional de alunos com deficiência física. Para o Design, este estudo apresenta uma demanda real de pesquisa e desenvolvimento de produtos de tecnologia assistiva para educação. A metodologia para o serviço de tecnologia assistiva, que resulta como produto final desta pesquisa, não pretende ser um modelo pronto e aplicável a outras realidades no entanto ela pode inspirar outras Redes de Educação a compreender as atribuições de um serviço educacional de tecnologia assistiva e construir suas próprias metodologias de trabalho, valorizando suas realidades.

O fenômeno global de envelhecimento populacional está sendo acompanhado pelo rápido crescimento do número de pessoas com algum tipo de deficiência mental ou física, assim como diversas doenças crônicas relacionadas à idade. Devido ao fato de que a maioria dos idosos prefere ficar no conforto de suas residências, é essencial o desenvolvimento de tecnologias que auxiliem os idosos a terem uma vida independente e confortável em seus lares. Em especial, Ambientes Assistidos buscam agir proativamente de forma a auxilar de maneira correta o usuário na execução das suas Atividades de Vida Diária. Devido à grande variabilidade nos níveis de deficiência dos usuários, é fundamental que o Ambiente Assistido seja capaz de fornecer a assistência levando em consideração diversos aspectos relacionados ao usuário, como suas dificuldades, limitações e atividade sendo realizada. Este trabalho propõe um sistema que utiliza uma abordagem baseada nas tecnologias da Web Semântica e no paradigma multiagentes com o objetivo de fornecer assistência personalizada a pessoas idosas e com diversidades funcionais. As características do usuário foram modeladas por uma ontologia OWL, enquanto o mecanismo de reasoning responsável por inferir as preferências relacionadas aos serviços do ambiente foi implementada utilizando a linguagem SWRL. Ainda, os componentes presentes na arquitetura proposta são implementados na forma de agentes com funções específicas. Entre as característica inovadoras da proposta estão a incorporação de um modelo padronizado e internacionalmente conhecido para representar as deficiências, dificuldades e limitações dos usuários e a utilização de uma arquitetura distribuída que possui as características inerentes ao paradigma multiagentes, tais como escalabilidade, flexibilidade e dinamismo. A validação do sistema foi realizada através de sua integração com uma Arquitetura Orientada a Serviços que utiliza uma solução comercial de automação residencial e um simulador de Ambientes Inteligentes, e da sua utilização em três casos de usos definidos pelo projeto AAL Joint Programme.

The global phenomenon of population aging has been followed by the fast growth in the number of people with some kind of mental or physical disability and chronic illnesses associated with old age. Given the fact that the majority of older adults prefer to stay in the comfort of their own homes, it is crucial to develop technologies that help the elderly to live independently and comfortably in their homes. Specifically, Ambient Assisted Living environments aims to act proactively in order to properly assist the elderly and people with functional diversity to perform their Activities of Daily Living. Since these users tend to be greatly variable in regards to functioning and disability levels, it is essential that the ambient provides personalized assistance based on the user’s unique requirements, limitations, preferences, and activity being performed. This work proposes a system that uses an approach based on the Web Semantic technologies and the…
