Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) claims that depression and anxiety disorders cost the global economy US$1 trillion each year. Likewise, the anxiety in children can trigger different kind of educational issues such as attention difficulties, frustration, and in general, the school failure. This disorder can appear too in children with different kind of disabilities as cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, autism, etc. For these reasons, in this paper we present a ludic-interactive system that provides support to detect behaviors/traits related with anxiety or lack of concentration in children with disabilities. Our proposal provides different kinds of ludic/educational activities as well as a data mining analysis module to support decisions making for psychologists and professionals of special education. In order to determine the real feasibility of the system, we have carried out a pilot experiment with 50 children (25 without and 25 with disabilities). The results provided by the system has validated by a team of psychologists.

YOCASTA:一个滑稽互动系统，支持检测残疾儿童的焦虑和注意力不集中

世界卫生组织(WHO)称，抑郁症和焦虑症每年给全球经济造成1万亿美元的损失。同样，儿童的焦虑会引发不同类型的教育问题，如注意力困难、挫折，以及一般的学业失败。这种障碍也可能出现在患有脑瘫、唐氏综合症、自闭症等不同残疾的儿童身上。基于这些原因，在本文中，我们提出了一个滑稽互动系统，为检测残疾儿童与焦虑或注意力不集中相关的行为/特征提供支持。我们的建议提供不同类型的娱乐/教育活动，以及数据挖掘分析模块，以支持心理学家和特殊教育专业人士的决策。为了确定该系统的真正可行性，我们对50名儿童(25名无残疾儿童和25名残疾儿童)进行了试点实验。该系统提供的结果已由一组心理学家验证。
