Abstract

Epidemiological and etiological studies have shown that, both in the clinical population and in the general population, Dyslexia co-occurs frequently with Attention and Hyperactivity Disorder. For these reasons, this work proposes a solution that aims to stimulate children suffering from both conditions in the relevant cognitive aspects, which are attention, task planning, and language processing. The solution proposed is EducationalGames, a Web application that contains two serious games: "Balloons and Letters Game" and "Robot at School game". It supports tasks which replicate daily living activities, such as preparing the backpack and reading. We present their design, a prototype implementation, and first user feedback.
