Software for Psychomotor Re-Education for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. European Erasmus+ Program 2020-1-TR01-KA205-081611

Summary/Abstract: In 2020 Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” started a partnership project with 18 Mart University (Canakkale, Turkey), Skopje University “Cyril and Metodius” (Skopie, Republic North Macedonia) and Piriteknoloji Egitim Hizmetleri Teknoloji ve Ticaret Adı Ortakligi on the Erasmus+ Program (Call 2020 Round 1 KA2 – Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices, KA205 – Strategic Partnership for Youth), named “Developing New Software For Psychomotor Re-education Of Children with Autism“ (2020-1-TR01-KA205-081611). The leading organization is the university in Canakkale, and the partnership with Sofia University is realized by lecturers from the Department of Speech and Language Pathology in the Faculty of Educational Studies and the Arts: prof. D.Sc. Neli Vasileva (coordinator), asst. prof. Dr. Elena Boyadzhieva-Deleva and asst. prof. Dr. Denitsa Krasteva. The project lasts two years and is expected to be completed in early July 2022. The idea for this project stems from the long-term implementation of psychomotor rehabilitation exercises for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). In most countries, the same problem is shared - the rejection of exercises by children and students when performed in front of a mirror and in conjunction with a special educator or therapist. The main goal of the project is to create software for psychomotor re-education, which will provide motivation for participation through the integration of technologies in therapy and sustainable learning by increasing the play elements. The project is planned for three target groups: special educators and other professionals, students in special education, speech therapy and psychology and children with autism. During the project implementation period, three three-day seminars are planned, during which trainings and meetings with the participants from the first two target groups will be held. The topics of the seminars are dedicated to the importance of psychomotor re-education for children with ASD, how to use the software and the accompanying assessment tool, as well as instructions for conducting online training on the use of software and application of exercises from it. The activities form the first Intellectual output includes joint work of researchers from the three universities on expert evaluation and selection of types and groups of exercises from the psychomotor system. These activities are the basis for the creation of the software and its technical design, which is the central line of the activities of the second intellectual output. The third intellectual output of project activities is aimed at creating an online course for the use and application of software. By the end of the project it is planned to create documentaries for the overall implementation of the project, which is the line of the fourth intellectual output. At the end of the project it is planned to provide 25 sets of software for each participating country (75 sets in total), and its representatives must provide free sets of organizations and institutions working with children with ASD. In this way the provision of the third target group of the project will be ensured. Additional information about the project (activities, participants, teams), as well as constantly updated versions of the software and online training can be found on the official website of the project www.rca-software.org.
