Ubiquitous geo-referenced social skills therapy
Pages 399 - 400
Abstract
Outdoor activities are a major component of Social Competency Training, as part of psychotherapy, for children and teenagers. Goals such as talking to someone or visiting a specific place are set by a therapist and patients are required to complete them usually following a certain sequence. Currently, therapists are unable to control this process as the procedures are usually supported by paper artifacts and, most of the times, take place outside the office. This leads to the therapist's inability to promote collaborative efforts and to reinforce positive attitudes, affecting both the therapy process and its results.
In this paper we present a software system that relies on mobile devices to support geo-referenced collaborative in-situ group therapy. We describe the concept, the system and its features and discuss future work directions.
