Quantitative Assessment of Cortical Auditory-tactile Processing in Children with Disabilities09:38

Quantitative Assessment of Cortical Auditory-tactile Processing in Children with Disabilities

11.2K
Objective and easy measurement of sensory processing is extremely difficult in nonverbal or vulnerable pediatric patients. We developed a new methodology to quantitatively assess infants and children's cortical processing of light touch, speech sounds, and the multisensory processing of the 2 stimuli, without requiring active subject participation or causing discomfort in vulnerable...

Learning Disabilities

579
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Disability quantification is crucial for integrating differently-abled individuals into society and the workforce.
  • Current methods may lack uniformity and objectivity, potentially hindering effective rehabilitation.
  • The Government of India released revised guidelines in January 2018 for disability assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a user-friendly mobile application for quantifying disability.
  • To align disability assessment with the latest Government of India guidelines.
  • To facilitate easier and more accurate disability calculations for a large population.

Main Methods:

  • Guidelines from the Government of India Gazette (January 2018) were utilized.
  • A spreadsheet, workflow, and interface modules were developed.
  • The application was coded using a simple web language for Android deployment.

Main Results:

  • An Android mobile application for disability quantification is now available on the Google Play Store.
  • The application underwent rigorous testing to ensure accuracy and reliability.
  • Validation was performed by comparing app results against manual calculations.

Conclusions:

  • The mobile application offers a uniform, objective, and easy method for disability calculation.
  • This tool is justified for its potential to benefit a large population of differently-abled persons.
  • Improved disability assessment can lead to better rehabilitation and societal integration.
