Requisitos para o desenvolvimento de um aplicativo para auxiliar a comunicação de indivíduos autistas

Abstract

Autism is a disorder that affects, among other things, the individual's capacity for communication and social interaction, directly impacting his or her quality of life. Several techniques of functional and alternative communication have been developed over time seeking to assist in the communicative processes of autistic people, among these techniques we can highlight the PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System). In this work, we elicit and specify requirements for the development of applications that help the communication of autistic with their caregivers and caregivers, as well as developing a collection of default images to be used in the developed applications. The elicited requirements were validated with a prototype constructed based on the elicited set of requirements and the collection of default images. As a result of the work, we have a requirements document containing the functional requirements and the main non-functional requirements for system development, as well as a database of images that should be used to create the application's standard categories and activities.
