Abstract

The Tutor Informatico System provides a new tool based on the new mobile technologies to Down syndrome people. This system is not intended to be a solution to the Down syndrome handicap, but a useful support that helps users to overcome the obstacles this handicap implies and to advance in this process towards self-sufficiency. For this purpose web technologies, data transmission technologies like GPRS and location technologies like GPS will be combined to offer a small terminal that works like a tutor, reminding and showing the user the daily tasks that he must accomplish. In addition a global positioning system provides the user with a certain degree of mobility.
