Mobile Social Network Services for Families With
Children With Developmental Disabilities
Abstract—As
Internet technologies evolve, their applications
have changed various aspects of human life. Here, we attempt
to examine their potential impact on services for families with developmentally delayed children. Our research is thus designed to
utilize wireless mobile communication technologies, location services, and search technology in an effort to match families of specific needs with potential care providers. Based on the investigation conducted by our counselors, this paper describes a platform
for smooth communication between professional communities and
families with children with developmental disabilities (CDD). This
research also looks into the impact of management of mobile social
network services and training on the operation of these services.
Interaction opportunities, care, and support to families with CDD
are introduced.
