PRESENTATION Hi , i’m Eraldo Guerra. I live in Recife, state of Pernambuco, Brazil. I am 37 years old and I’m Master in Software Engineering from CESAR. EDU. At the beginning of my Master degree, choosing my study and design object, got the first contact with the autistic universe. Why not have relatives, acquaintances or friends with Autism, I knew very little about it, but my interest was immediate from the beginning of my research on the subject. Me deeper into the subject, my interest Stepu to be increasing and joined my ideal path that I follow since then, culminating in Cangame Maker project. And how did it all happen? My intention was to research and develop a project that would provide a real benefit for the people who use it and not only an academic and scientific study object. So researching and dedicating myself to the subject, I oportunizado to know the story of Carly Fleischmann. This true story inspired me and even more motivated to think and conclude that the technology could be a facilitator. From that moment, every day that I leaned on the subject, I felt touched by the “pain”, dreams, difficulties experienced by these individuals and their families. That intensified my desire to accomplish this great and gorgeous design! I felt very happy with this choice, so that immediately took the proposal to my advisor. From then began the walk to this project! In 2011, I started my research, understanding the methods of treatment, behavioral issues from scientific articles based on national and international evidence and reaffirmed my certainty: the use of technology is an effective resource to facilitate formal and informal learning need to every Apresentação | Cangame Maker 1.0 - Manual de Uso

individual, being of importance for these individuals. In the certainty that it was developing a certain way, I got the support of various professionals from different areas of health and education and parents who with their professional experiences and experiences with these individuals added to this project evidence that contributed to the current situation of this project . In 2012, the first project came about: the Cangame. The choice of this name came based on reading texts and articles, which conveyed the idea that autism was unable to live in society or autonomously. I did not agree with this idea is wanted to prove that it was wrong. I believed and still remain, that above all with availability, affection and dedication associated with resources and correct treatment strategies, could change that thought. So this was my first goal! The build and facilitate efficient and pleasurable feature, easy to understand and use, and above all, that could be used by all people of different social classes, bringing joy and enchantment. He needed to be pleasurable, fun and exercise your greatest learning function. So, uniting all this, as if by magic, the name appeared: Cangame that the act of playing you can change your life story! The first project was based on the use of Microsoft Kinect, which was a game with 4 characters that need your help to perform daily activities. Once the first version was ready, we were testing with several autistic from various regions of Brazil and different age groups. The tests showed wonderful and exciting results as seen in the previous video. What enabled several national and international scientific publications, awards and the support of many reputable people. But not everything is perfect and unfortunately at the moment we can not continue the project. But not my dream, it was stronger than the difficulties!!! I had a lot of strength and will, but I needed to make people believe that dream is wished to divide it and carry it with me. So I remained with enthusiasm in search of these people.

Some just give up because at that time there was still no financial return. I did not give up, if only because am still counting on the support of several mothers and professionals who believe in this project is personal dream. This affection and credibility that get drives me to keep fighting! Until my search has ended, I met a student, a friend who became part of me in Cangame dream. He believed, bet, dreamed and begin to see together what we were doing and what we would do. How our dream could help millions of people. And today I have to thank all the angels that appeared in my life, especially the angel Gabriel. Which in my case is Gabriel Lourenço, an angel who had entrusted a mission. I support, help and inspire together we continue doing our part for a better world! They have passed five years and currently providing a mobile version of Cangame called Cangame Maker. The main purpose of this release is to allow the construction of personalized the whole of each individual learning materials. You can use imaging features, audio, text and video that contribute to the treatment of each individual. Being personalized, Cangame Maker can be used for any stage of life of the autistic individual (child, youth and adult) and with different purposes (learning routine, communication, supported employment, inclusive education and others), without generating any kind of social embarrassment. I believe Cangame Maker besides being the realization of a dream and have over this time been supported acceptance and credibility, has all the requirements to become a trigger major changes !! With the sale of this application, I can finance new projects that are already under study Apresentação | Cangame Maker 1.0 - Manual de Uso

and adjustments and can be increasingly specific, beneficial and meet the different needs of other disorders such as ADHD, Learning and Syndromes DISORDERS that bring impairment of social, educational and global order. This dream would be complete with the desire to build a Social Technology Development Center, where we can develop software and applications to benefit society. Moreover, to promote the training of Autistic and any other condition that requires aid to be capacitaras for the labor market in areas games, animation, music and other. For insertion in the labor market and social life and practice with established partnerships and thus facilitate and monitor their development. Thus, in the near future, the same individual who Stepu the middle, becomes a multiplier of their knowledge, experience and an example of overcoming and inspiration to others. Why not dream and believe that can be done is to work? Having several centers like this in the world? And this new dream, we have four more wonderful people. That only added up to much believed in our dream. Where they seek to devote their time, knowledge, effort to do good to thousands of families, children around the world. For as we know the great value of a smile! Thank you for all the help and to be part of that dream!

GUIDEBOOK The Cangame Maker is an application for Android phones (soon Windows Phone and iOS). It is an application for the treatment, learning, cognitive and social development through personalizaras learning routines! The proposal is that this customization allows creating specific content for the user, using photos, handouts, audio and video sequence that are more appropriate to use the cognitive and social knowledge. The same can be used by parents, educators and health professionals who follow the development of these individuals. By creating social learning routines of communication, supported employment, inclusive education, daily life and all your creativity and allow the individual need. All this without any kind of social embarrassment and records the progress of treatment. Cangame Maker is a personalized learning tool for Autistic, ADHD, Attention deficit disorders involving learning and etc. Let us understand its functioning below. In addition to this manual we are creating a video channel where anyone who uses the Cangame Maker will be able to post videos with examples of their activities performed. I believe that these actions will help all who use and have difficulties to create their activities

STEP 6 | CREATE ROUTINE Notice that I created several PEC’s fruit, I can just create a learning routine then called fruit and place in the food category. What allows a larger organization to manage learning. The routine allows you to use various sequences of PEC’s and use them as best as possible. For example: I use some PEC’s fruit, cereals, dairy products and create a routine to “supermarket shopping” category “home”. Without changing the routine “good food” with fruits as PEC’s. Another good applicability is to create a routine action, “brush your teeth” and use photos, Step to Step videos that should be made to brush your teeth! You can create routines of “literacy” and create the category “communication” and show PEC’s letters and sounds of each letter. Can I use images of animals or objects that emit sound and use sound and text to perform vocal exercises. Can I use the process of inclusion, creating routines by PEC’s actions to be carried out in the workplace. At school and contribute to the autistic create your identity. You can create associative routines, with pictures of objects and text and videos explaining how to use or serving. A science teacher, for example can make a PEC of the senses of the human body. And for each place a body part of the image, a text with identification and a video for serving. As a nose and PEC have a video of the teacher smelling something. I create PEC’s only sequence of images and mathematical symbols and teach math operations. How can I use instead of numbers symbology something common to living autism. A sequence of balls, or hats, etc.


21

The result of choosing the video will be displayed

Click the button to create your first Routine

Before we create a routine we need to create a category if we do not have one.

Figure 8 - Creating routines fruits of good food category.

Take pictures of objects or beings similar and explain difference, as small dog, large dog or dog with short, long or the dog domestic dog, guard dog. I can take pictures of the feelings of facial expressions and create feelings routines and explain how an angry person, happy, sarcasm ... The video helps a lot to interpret as something static just will not show the emotion that a video shows. The same was done by the person which the autistic identifies or has closer this factor will contribute a lot to learn, being an important attraction. The same goes for audio and photos! Use your imagination and love to promote learning and treatment! (Figure 9 - Images captured in Android version)
