Sigueme is a free application designed to enhance visual attention and train the acquisition of meaning in people with autism. The project works on different touch and non-touch devices: desktop computers, digital whiteboards, netbooks, laptops (Windows and Linux) and tablets (iPad and Android).
Developed by the Orange Foundation and the University of Granada, the overall objective of the SIGUEME educational application is to promote and enhance the development of perceptual-visual and cognitive-visual processes in people with low-functioning autism, to achieve the acquisition of meaning (association of images with verbal labels and their meaning).
Sigueme gives meaning and guides the intervention to be carried out with people who still do not have access to reading and writing and have not accessed the understanding of the meaning of words and images.
In Sigueme, six phases are presented, ranging from baseline stimulation to the acquisition of meaning from videos, photographs, drawings and pictograms, including the last phases of categorization and association activities through games.
Sigueme: is an application whose main purpose is to improve the cognitive-visual and perceptual-visual processes through photographs, pictograms, videos, etc. Some of the objectives pursued by the program are: Promote visual fixation and monitoring, improve visual attention to basal stimuli, adapt the sequence of presentation of images of each phase to normal development, develop the ability to observe, have their experiences previous adapting them to their perceptual state and relating them to their daily experience, enhancing mental representation and linguistic understanding; and behavioral improvement related to the control of stereotypes, decentration problems, motivation and interest in the game. The application has been designed following educational strategies that can help the user with ASD to develop those cognitive structures that are necessary to compensate for the difficulties they have in learning.
