Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this thesis was to create the theoretical background and collect scientific evidence, to design the raw model of an application for children with autisms and health care professionals. The thesis justifies the use of rhythmic auditory cues as an effective tool that could be used, as key feature in the possible future creation of the designed application. A proof of concept is presented and opened up in this document, to clarify the main idea.
The topic what chosen after a meeting with a company located in Espoo, called Kuori tech. The company operates in the e-Health, and in cooperation with heath care professionals. They brought up the need for a tool designed specifically for that group. The theoretical knowledge covered by the author’s research, includes morphological and structural studies about autistic people’s brain, and how their brain function and operates in comparison with typically developing people. The research also covers studies about the use of multi-stimuli input, with the aim of observing functional activation of the different brain areas in autistic people, always in comparison to typically developing subjects. The outcome of the author’s research, showed that multi-stimuli, produces a brain response that is almost identical to typically developing people.
This theoretical knowledge was then combined by the author and applied into a practical creation of a raw model, where the auditory stimuli was used as a cuing system to facilitate motor planning during the observation of a specific motor skill, presented in a visual form.
