Resumo(s)
Children with neurodevelopmental disorders have executive function
deficits that can interfere with their academic performance and school adaptation. AQ1
The use of computerized training programs has proven to be useful to improve
executive functions, as well as reading and math performance. We developed a digital game for assessing and improving sustained attention in children aged between
6 and 9 years with neurodevelopmental disorders. The game was developed based
on a standardized task called Continuous Performance Test. This study aims to
investigate teachers’ acceptability of the game and their perception and feedback
in regard to different aspects of the game. Nine teachers from a special school in
Romania participated in a focus group and completed the reflection sheets after
playing the game. Our results showed that the participants really enjoyed playing the game and considered it appropriate for children with neurodevelopmental
disorders. Findings provide important contributions to the domains of gamified
psychological assessment in children with neurodevelopmental disorders.
