Abstract

Self-hygiene is considered one of the most essential self-management skills necessary for children with disabilities to acquire and perform independently. With this in mind, we developed an Android-based mobile application intended to teach children how to eliminate parasites. To assess its effectiveness, three children with developmental disabilities were tested prior to and after playing the game. The results indicated that the children’s knowledge of health behaviors and health-related self-efficacy improved after playing the game. Implications for health education and management are discussed.
