AHA is a pilot project funded by the European Commission Directorate-General for Communications Network Content and Technology for Technologies and Tools for Children and Young People with ADHD. The acronym AHA means ADHD-Augmented. The AHA pilot project investigates the efficacy of Augmented Reality (AR) in strengthening reading and spelling abilities in children with ADHD adopting an evidence-based intervention approach. Specifically, the AHA project involves the integration of a series of AR objects with WordsWorthLearning© Programme (WWL), a web-based educational tool previously created to improve reading and spelling skills in individuals aged 6 years and over, and the Web Health Application for ADHD Monitoring (WHAAM). The integration process produced the AHA web-based service that allows parents, teachers, and other professionals to monitor the behaviour of children engaged in the reading and spelling activities provided by the system. Overall, the AHA project represents an effort to evaluate whether AR can support children diagnosed with ADHD in improving their reading and spelling literacy and sustaining their attention and engagement with the task.

Abstract
AHA is a pilot project funded by the European Commission Directorate-General for Communications Network Content and Technology for Technologies and Tools for Children and Young People with ADHD. The acronym AHA means ADHD-Augmented. The AHA pilot project investigates the efficacy of Augmented Reality (AR) in strengthening reading and spelling abilities in children with ADHD adopting an evidence-based intervention approach. Specifically, the AHA project involves the integration of a series of AR objects with WordsWorthLearning© Programme (WWL), a web-based educational tool previously created to improve reading and spelling skills in individuals aged 6 years and over, and the Web Health Application for ADHD Monitoring (WHAAM). The integration process produced the AHA web-based service that allows parents, teachers, and other professionals to monitor the behaviour of children engaged in the reading and spelling activities provided by the system. Overall, the AHA project represents an effort to evaluate whether AR can support children diagnosed with ADHD in improving their reading and spelling literacy and sustaining their attention and engagement with the task.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
