Abstract

Gesture-based interaction provides a multitude of benefits to individuals with disabilities, for example, enhancing social, motor and cognitive skills. However, applications that encourage self-efficacy by promoting a life-skill through simulations of real world scenarios are largely missing. We explore the benefits of using a gesture-based application for individuals with developmental disabilities. The context is a special school in New Delhi, Nai Disha, where we designed and developed an application, Kirana, that integrates arithmetic and social interaction to teach purchasing of items from a local grocery store. In our study, 18 participants with developmental disabilities, previously unable to visit a grocery store, used Kirana for three weeks. Our results indicate that gesture-based applications can teach a life skill and enable self-efficacy for individuals with developmental disabilities by breaking down complex tasks that require social, mathematical and decision-making skills.

印度发育性残疾人士的手势互动

基于手势的互动为残疾人提供了许多好处，例如，增强社交、运动和认知技能。然而，通过模拟现实世界场景来提高生活技能，从而鼓励自我效能感的应用程序在很大程度上是缺失的。我们探索使用基于手势的应用程序对发育性残疾的个人的好处。背景是新德里的一所特殊学校，在那里我们设计并开发了一个应用程序，Kirana，它整合了算术和社交互动，教人们从当地的杂货店购买物品。在我们的研究中，18名患有发育性残疾的参与者，以前无法去杂货店，使用Kirana三周。我们的研究结果表明，基于手势的应用程序可以通过分解需要社交、数学和决策技能的复杂任务来教授生活技能，并提高发育障碍患者的自我效能感。
