Activity's description:
Applied Behavior Analysis and assistive technologies for people with delayed cognitive development (funding - PGPTA - Capes / SDH / MCTI). This proposal seeks to integrate the efforts that are being developed in the Theory and Behavioral Research Graduate Program (UFPA), Developmental Psychology and Learning (Unesp-Bauru) and Psychology (UFSCar) in conducting translational and technological research projects and the formation of qualified human resources that impact positively on the implementation of the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis in interventions for people with delayed cognitive development in Brazil. Four subprojects will be developed that seek to: 1. Develop and implement an articulated set of tools and efficient techniques to train parents, teachers, caregivers and other professionals on the fundamental skills to apply analytical and behavioral education programs for children diagnosed with autism; 2- To develop computerized procedures and assess reading prerequisites for building words and sentences diagnosed students with autism; consolidate the teaching procedures used by the research group that produce few or no errors, making them more efficient and economical, creating a computerized learning technology that allows generalization to situations close to the student in the classroom; 3- Establish receptive and expressive verbal repertoire for multiple copies instruction for children with pre-lingual hearing loss and cochlear implants with delays in language considering preliminary evaluation of the hearing based on selection and echoic vocal responses and naming objects / properties / events ; and 4- To develop and validate tools that enable early screening of risks for difficulties and disorders in learning mathematics; identify the role of counting and visual enumeration in the purchase of pre-math skills; develop functional resume involving aid strategies to individuals with cognitive limitations and communication. As a direct result of the development of these sub-projects will be formed six Masters and four doctors trained to work in research and development of assistive technologies for people with delayed cognitive development.

Description of Activity:
Evaluation of induction impact of a virtual network of support and learning to individuals with disabilities and their families. Neurological and psychomotor disabilities, such as cerebral palsy and spina bifida, entail limitations not only to affected individuals, but also for their families. The particulars of the person with disabilities affect the family system may influence, for example, network support, in future expectations, resilience, and the stress in co-parental relations. Despite recent technological advances, the virtual tools to this little audience have been used in Brazil. Using Forums as a empowerment generator tool has been a practice in countries such as Germany. International experience has shown that virtual forums provide individual and contextual gains, since they facilitate access to information, the exchange of experience, empowerment and social participation. In this sense, it is necessary in Brazil to identify and develop new technologies that can assist in the training and support to these individuals and their contexts. This project aims to generate and evaluate the induction impacts of a virtual network of support and learning for individuals with disabilities and their families. Initially, the variables pre-forum measurements will be made Parenting, Co-parenting, Resilience, Perceived Stress, Support Network, Total Network and Personal Network. There will be an intervention phase through the development, training, monitoring and evaluation of a virtual forum. Finally, the same variables in the initial phase will be retested to verify the induction impact of the virtual network of support and learning in users. For the implementation of this project are involved three teams (UFPa, UFMG, USP-RP) with theoretical fields and convergent methods giving the interdisciplinary character of the project. The aim, ultimately, build a panorama that can view the interference of participation in the virtual forum on different variables of the person with cerebral palsy or spina bifida and their families. Accordingly, the effects of the intervention will be analyzed in order to generate practical and operational knowledge, expressed in the form of assistive technologies for people with disabilities and their family groups. Finally, beyond the empirical data that will be obtained, it is believed that, in the end, this project will enable the construction of an innovative product, a virtual forum for people with spina bifida / cerebral palsy and their families, which will be available for use by interested contributing to quality of life of this population.
