The TESI Project: An Adaptative Personalized System for Creating Expression Tools in Social Inclusion of Disadvantage Learners

This paper deals with an Adaptive Personalized System for Creating Expression Tools in Social Inclusion of Learners with Verbal Communication Disabilities. The European Union (EU) project TESI - Tools of Expression for Social Inclusion (TESI), focuses on social integration of people with verbal communication disorders at risk of social isolation. It is intended to conceptualize and develop social competences (SC) related to personal, social and professional development of people with verbal communication disorders through the creation of an adaptive, affordable and easy-to-use software solution. To develop and put into practice the TESI Project, international partners from different backgrounds, specialties and educational levels, work closely with 9 associated partners. The description of this research project, now in its initial stage, allows us to reflect on the role of this technology-based solution in supporting disadvantaged learners, examine the TESI conceptual model and software system and the process of validation it through a pilot study.
