Abstract:
People with intellectual disabilities face cognitive problems that affect their memory, spatial and time perception. The “ADAPEI Transport” app has been created by Capgemini engineering and the ADAPEI association from Belfort in France. It is a tool to help children and young adults having intellectual disabilities to learn how to use a public transport and to walk in their own cities independently. The reference route is first physically (in situ) created by a specialist. Along the path, steps are recorded to help the user with intellectual disabilities to interact with his/her environment in the navigation part. The aim of this article is to show the results of a first iteration feedback done with three adults having intellectual disabilities and a specialist in mobility to improve and adapt the app to adult’s special needs to walk and to take the public transport independently in unknown environments.
