Abstract

This article seeks to present the previous experience made and the definition of inclusive application design criteria taken into account within a heuristic assessment process applied to validate the relevance of these tools in the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder -ASD. The article presents the procedure performed, as well as the formation of the team of experts who participated in this study and finally the results obtained.

What is expressed in this letter is part of an investigation that, from the systematic review of literature and the conduct of a case study, obtains the identification of the most relevant - functional and non-functional - characteristics that the software used in the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder -TEA should have. The study is based on the use of computer applications focused on strengthening social and motivation skills, as well as the characteristics linked to the training processes of autistic children.

The project includes the exploration of state of the art and technique on Emotional Intelligence, children with disabilities such as autism and architecture models for the design of inclusive software applications. All this is validated by qualitative and quantitative metrics and analyses with indicators of assessment on appropriation or strengthening of emotional skills in autistic children. The tools considered are tools for collecting non-invasive information, filming activities and analyzing emotions through recognition of facial expressions.
