Communication processes of students with cerebral palsy in digital learning environments

Abstract

This study aimed to identify possible contributions of using Digital Learnig Environments for the communication processes of students with cerebral palsy. The subjects used Digital Learnig Environments, including the Eduquito and a social network. From the mediation and virtual contact with other children, the dimensions we observed were reading and writing, oral language, and social development. The results showed that children began to virtually interact with other children and understand and use new concepts and new technologies. There was an evolution in the written language as well as a decrease in the production of misspelled words during the research.
