Abstract
The existing literature identifies various situations related to hearing problems in children, such as difficulties in understanding oral language, delayed speech development, or auditory discrimination problems. In this work, we present a technological tool designed to stimulate listening skills in children from 5 to 7 years old, following the principles of Condemarin. This tool offers stimulation activities and provides immediate feedback to improve the ability to recognize, discriminate, and interpret auditory stimuli, which contributes to the development of communication skills in children. The tool we developed is a web application that is easy for therapists to install, learn, and configure. For its creation, we follow the prototype methodology, which includes the requirements, assembly, evaluation, corrections, documentation, and testing stages. We collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of experts in information technology, linguistic rehabilitation, education, and graphic design. Throughout the six phases of our process, we kept user needs in mind, resulting in a system evaluation that demonstrated high user satisfaction and good performance both in technical and interface terms. In addition, this application benefits children with language disorders and learning difficulties and children from 5 to 7 years old since it encourages the development of their communication skills.
