Abstract:
ADAPTH (Association pour le développement et la propagation
des aides techniques pour personnes handicapées) has
been founded the 4th October 1985 by professionals in the field
of disability and by a team of researchers of the technical
institute of Luxembourg. The association is financed by the
Health Ministry.
CRP Henri Tudor, founded in 1987 as public research center was
created to promote innovation and technological development
in Luxembourg.
The SALEA software was initially dedicated to lip-reading training
of deaf pupils. The software is made of an outstanding and easy
to use authoring system which allows the therapist or teacher
to create exercises including video sequences, sounds, picture
and text.
The Centre de Logopédie, a school for deaf people, and
the Service Audiophonologique, a service for hearing impaired
persons, participate in the project as evaluators of the software
application. The software was tested all through the development
phase by the pupils. Their remarks and proposals were immediately
considered and included into new specifications of the software.
The assessment was done by direct observation of the pupils
by the engineer in charge of the development and by the teacher
responsible for the project for the center.
