Abstract

The treatment of the Dyslexia Disorder requires patients to be disciplined and have a lot of reading practice so that they can reach a level of fluency and accuracy similar to people not diagnosed with this disorder. Due to cost or availability of health professionals, patients are not able, in general, to follow the treatment accordingly keeping a constant attendance. Besides, nowadays there are not many available tools to support health professionals towards dyslexia diagnosis. This paper presents an application developed for mobile devices, through which dyslexic users can practice their reading skills, turning the treatment accessible as well as helping health professionals as an auxiliary tool to diagnose their patients. This tool can be applied to support dyslexia diagnosis and to help people already diagnosed with this disorder training reading. To validate the use of this tool, the application was tested with some students of a private school in the city of São Paulo (Brazil). The results regarding usability aspects and the tool accuracy are also discussed.

支持阅读障碍诊断和阅读练习的移动应用程序

对失读症的治疗要求患者自律，并进行大量的阅读练习，这样他们才能达到与未被诊断患有这种疾病的人相似的流利和准确的水平。由于费用或缺乏保健专业人员，一般来说，患者无法按照相应的治疗方法持续就诊。此外，目前没有很多可用的工具来支持卫生专业人员对阅读障碍的诊断。本文介绍了一种为移动设备开发的应用程序，通过该应用程序，失读症用户可以练习他们的阅读技能，使治疗变得容易，并帮助卫生专业人员作为诊断患者的辅助工具。这个工具可以用于支持阅读障碍的诊断，并帮助已经被诊断患有这种疾病的人进行阅读训练。为了验证该工具的使用，应用程序在圣保罗市(巴西)一所私立学校的一些学生中进行了测试。讨论了可用性和工具精度方面的结果。
