Prototipagem de um ambiente virtual de aprendizagem para auxiliar o desenvolvimento cognitivo de crianças com transtorno do espectro autista.

Abstract

Technology is increasingly present in people's lives, so it becomes extremely important to develop actions capable of highlighting how essential it is that its use is always aimed at contributing positively to society. Studies that are being carried out show that technology is a good ally when it comes to education, thus, making use of technological tools can improve the learning of individuals who need, in addition to conventional teaching methods, methods that are able to stimulate the Learn. Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have some limitations that can affect, for example, communication, thus affecting their social integration. With the help of technology in teaching these children, through applications and Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs), as researchers have identified that children with ASD demonstrate a good relationship with computers and technologies in general, the use of these means can provide great advances in development and learning. Thus, the objective of this work is to design a VLE aimed at assisting children with ASD and for this it follows the following steps: characterize the target audience, understand the limitations that affect children with ASD, follow Gaia's accessibility recommendations to design a VLE capable of assisting in the learning and development process of these children. As a result, this work designed an AVA following 79% of the guidelines recommended by the Autism Interface Accessibility Guide.
