Multimedia tool for the treatment of dyslexia and dyscalculia

Abstract

Specific learning disorders constitute a varied group of alterations or difficulties that can cause problems not only at school but throughout life. These disorders can be evidenced, in the first years of schooling, when children present problems in reading, writing, and numerical reasoning. Once the diagnosis is established, the experts develop treatments that generally require specialized teaching materials that, due to the technological gap, are often scarce, expensive, and difficult to access. This study presents the development of the tool GABARATO which in English closest translation is scribbled, based on the analysis of the skills that children with learning disorders have in front of the computer.
