This paper present a developed the JECRIPE download. Game that has purpose of stimulate preschool children with Down syndrome. Our game stimulates some cognitive abilities through activities specifically designed for the users of our game.
The game applying the Semiotic Inspection Method in the JECRIPE game. the primary purpose of SIM is to evaluate the communicability of interactive computer artifacts. As is typical of HCI inspection methods, SIM does not require an observation of users interacting with the system. Rather, the method helps inspectors anticipate the kinds of consequences that design choices may bring about when users interact with the system. It can be carried out by a single inspector or a group of inspectors.
In game :
the main character called “Betinho” which is a boy with Down syndrome interacts with the player in JECRIPE to stimulate cognitive, ability to imitate speech and gestures is stimulated in a singing and gesture, Visual and auditory skills are developed by looking at objects and listening to instructions, feedback, Fine motor skills, eye-hand coordination and other abilities such as short-term memory are exercised by understanding object permanence, cause and effect relationships at all settings. As the player progresses in the game, different tasks are proposed.
The voice in the game talks often to the player, telling the child about things and giving choices. The voice provides feedback in a positive, supportive, playful and caring way. It is our belief that interventions using computer games such as JECRIPE can be used with Down syndrome children to stimulate language and cognitive skills and promote the improvement of quality of life.
The application of the SIM improved when we observed a deputy that represents the profile of the game public.
