NhF mobile: ferramenta computacional para realização de testes de percepção e compreensão oral em crianças

Abstract

This work aims to develop a computational tool for the Android platform that enables the administration of tests for oral perception and comprehension in children. The proposed computational system includes batteries of tests for auditory reception and sentence comprehension, which were developed by the linguist Scliar-Cabral (2003). The implementation of the system required a division into two parts: the server, also known as the backend, composed of four microservices that utilized the REST communication interface by default; and the client, a hybrid Android application. Hearing tests were adapted and incorporated into the application, which features specific illustrations, audio, and layout. After testing, the graphical design of the application was approved by the target audience, and it proved to be playful, as it was perceived as a game by children, arousing their interest in participating. The generated reports allow case monitoring, retesting, and longitudinal analysis, providing important information for teachers, speech therapists, and other therapists involved in children's development. Data is stored in the cloud and made available through the application for consultation and research purposes, respecting the LGPD (General Data Protection Law)
