Abstract

The Autonomamente project developed a highly customizable application based on multimodal communication (speech, icons, text) to support autonomous living of persons with cognitive disabilities in special apartments fitted with domotic sensors. Its functionalities are designed to support everyday social activities of the users: using the telephone in a simple way, schedule appointments, keep track of time and organize personal finances and savings. This paper aims to explain the evaluation performed using the Goal Attainment Scale Method, whereby each person agrees with his/her trainer upon at least one specific goal related to the application in order to improve his/her results.
