Learning Software Application Design Model for Children with Cerebral Palsy

Abstract

Most of the software applications for children withcerebral palsy (CP) do not focus on learning issues. This studydescribes the learning issues for children with CP and theirrequirements. The findings are translated into a LearningSoftware Application Design Model (LSADM), which could beused in developing other types of learning software applicationfor children with CP. Guidelines for designing and developing alearning software application prototype that are compatible withthe limited capabilities of children with CP are developed andpresented to ensure they are able to grasp the concepts of alearning software application. The prototype is developed using agame application and a GlovePie Tool. By following this modeland implementing them in the development process, can supportlearning and motivate learners to have interest on learning.
