Abstract

Emotional and behavior alterations are common symptoms in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). Mental health disorders in this pathology are mainly stress, anxiety, and depression. Since there is a strong relationship between behavior and emotion symptoms, children with CP show difficulties to communicate in terms of family, peer, and attention signs. With a high prevalence of emotional and behavior disorders and few studies in Virtual Rehabilitation focused on the enrichments of this alterations, it is necessary to analyze the use of new groundbreaking technological systems. The purpose of this paper is to analyze behavior and emotion symptoms of a child which CP. For this, we use a novel system that recognizes emotions such as neutrality, happiness, and annoyance, together with the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). The preliminary outcomes encourage us to continue analyzing enrichments in terms of emotional and behavior problems.
