HETICA

IMPORTANT: *To access the previous settings of the application (black icons and gear wheel), press and hold them for a few seconds. * For the application to carry out its task, you must first enter subjects. The HETICA application consists of a free, non-profit application, without advertising and without purchases, whose intention is to support the organization and performance of daily study tasks in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but always under the supervision of specialists, parents or guardians and in the exercise of exclusively personal or domestic activities. This application has been financed and developed (July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020) within the project called “HETICA: An ICT TOOL for the organization of school tasks in people with Asperger syndrome”, corresponding to the V edition of the Galileo's Own Innovation and Transfer Plan of the University of Córdoba, modality IV, UCO-SOCIAL-INNOVA projects, with the collaboration of Obra Social la Caixa. Later, in 2024, it receives an unfunded update. HETICA has also had the collaboration of Asociación Autismo Córdoba, located in Córdoba, Spain, and the work team is made up of professionals from different disciplines (teachers, computer engineers, psychologists). You can consult the website associated with the project at https://www.uco.es/ayrna/teaprojects/hetica.html Please note that it is a non-profit project, in which the work team has not obtained any financial benefit and is not professionally dedicated to the development and maintenance of applications for mobile devices. The authors of the HETICA application have developed this application with the aim of supporting people with ASD in their integration into society, hoping that it will be useful and contributing “a grain of sand” more to this type of causes. The application presents the following functionalities distributed in several modules: - Sample tips on organizing the workspace and study techniques. - Organization, depending on the difficulty and affinity of the student, of a work time to be used for each subject and in which they must concentrate on it. That time will issue a completion reminder or can even be paused and resumed depending on the configuration you make. - Possibility of timing for a single subject, for cases in which the student has already become familiar with the app and wants to start studying something specific directly. - Tips for organizing the environment in which you have been working and preparing your backpack for the next day. - Configuration module by the father, mother, tutor or specialist, so that tasks or subjects, default times, rest, possibility of stops, early completion, etc. can be managed. - Arrangement of the management and configuration elements so that they cannot be easily activated by students and do not distract them from studying and concentration (activation by long pressing on said configuration elements). - Module that allows administrators to organize study days, with the possibility of establishing a set of subjects and times associated with them, both for the current day and for future days. - Statistics system that allows administrators to control or monitor the study dedicated by the student and by subject throughout the course.
