Inclusion of pictograms with the alternative augmentative methodology in the development of a communication board for children with Down Syndrome. Novasinergia [online]. 2018, vol.1, n.1, pp.51-58.

Given the deficiencies and obstacles that are identified in the community so that people with Down Syndrome (SD) reach full recognition of their rights, including to develop effective communication, this work designed and implemented a web communication board as a useful information and expression tool among children with (SD), which is based on the alternative augmentative methodology for identifying pictograms and issuing messages. The architecture of the web system is scalable, therefore, it accepts modifications and improvements according to the need. Another important feature of the board is the easy usability and accessibility. To evaluate the functionality, the statistical method of Shapiro was applied, obtaining as a result a p-value equal to 0.2174 that is greater than 5% of significance accepting the proposed hypothesis. The presented solution fulfills the communicational expectations regarding the conceptual and attitudinal elements, due to the use of the material used in classrooms, which are adjusted to the learning needs of children, contributing to their cognitive and affective development.
