Aplicación móvil “Aprende con Amor” para facilitar el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de la lectoescritura en personas con Síndrome de Down

Abstract

This project focuses on the development of the innovative mobile application “Aprende con Amor” aimed at facilitating the learning of reading and writing in people with Down Syndrome. The need to address specific challenges in these areas was highlighted, leading to meaningful collaboration between educators, therapists and the app developers. Adaptability stands as a fundamental principle, recognizing the diversity of abilities and needs of each individual. Personalization of content and integration of Down Syndrome-specific pedagogical approaches are essential to ensure the effectiveness and inclusivity of the application. The design focused on the user, with emphasis on interactivity and visual appeal and using the “Troncoso Method” of learning literacy. Scrum was used as an agile development methodology, which included pilot testing and the collection of feedback, allowing effective adjustments and continuous improvements. The project not only seeks to create a technological tool, but also to redefine education, fusing technology and specialized pedagogical approaches to offer an enriching and adapted educational experience.
