Keywords:
children with special needs, android apps, educational technology, gamification techniquesAbstract
Children with mental disorders represent a significant and growing global health concern. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 317 million people were affected in 2019. This impacts their motoric and cognitive development. To enhance awareness of children's mental disorder an interactive Android game-based application was developed using Kodular. It offers two modes: a child mode, access is limited to the animated tasks, and parent mode provides systematic reports to analyse children’s behaviour. This dual-structure supports early identification of mental disorder symptoms and the feasibility of assistive agents for children with special needs in daily social interactions.
