Description
Summary:Guidelines for designing and developing a learning prototype that are compatible with the limited capabilities of children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) are established in the form of a model, known as Learning Software User Interface Design Model (LSUIDM), to ensure children with CP are able to grasp the concepts of a learning software application prototype. In this paper, the LSUIDM is applied in developing a learning software application for children with CP. We present a user study on evaluating a children education game for CP children at Pemulihan dalam Komuniti in Johor Bahru. The findings from the user study shows that the game, which was built, based on the LSUIDM can be applied in the learning process for children with CP and most notably, the children are engaged and excited using the software. This paper highlights the lessons learned from the user study, which should be significant especially in improving the application. The results of the study show that the application is proven to be interactive, useful and efficient as the users used it.
