Abstract
A time display and time training device has been developed in collaboration between University and Special Education Schools, with which an empirical intervention is to begin shortly. Former trials in children provided evidences of time managing improvement, reduction of stress in changes of activity and usefulness in managing behavior contention.
This communication describes current version of the prototype which has been adapted to the experimental setup to be started this year which integrates feedback obtained in previous trials, in accordance with previewed experimental intervention.
Time passing is represented by turning off sequentially and gradually a row of luminous elements initially on, which provides for association with time perception. Besides luminous elements, tasks display provides for association of agenda-information. Tasks management support and anticipation to changes is supported by setting different colors to the luminous elements and by providing luminous or sound messages. Disruptive behavior control training is also supported by added flexibility in configuring different times and feedbacks.
Training tools are integrated in an AAL platform that includes home control and AAL specialized interface, keeping in mind its potential application to other cognitive impairments as Alzheimer disease.
