In the organization of CARNET, in the Centar za odgoj i obrazovanje Zagreb, on November 15 2022, a workshop was held on the topic \"Effective communication as a prerequisite for the establishment of effective relationships.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three excellent lecturers presented the topics: \"Universal design and accessibility\", \"Universal design in teaching - a prerequisite for an inclusive society\" and \"Assisted communication\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/ponos.pou.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20221115_122359.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-117\" style=\"width:630px;height:472px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ponos.pou.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20221115_122359.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ponos.pou.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20221115_122359-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ponos.pou.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20221115_122359-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u017deljka Car Prof. Ph.D.Sc., Professor at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, explained the topic of assistive technologies in more detail. In order to frame the broader picture, she introduced the participants to terminology and interesting facts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the coronavirus epidemic, when education rapidly shifted to virtual learning, the quality of teaching content in Croatia was actually at the level of rich countries. Interest in ICT - Information Communication Technology and Assisted Communication was initiated. The goals of these technologies and communication systems are to avoid separation into groups of users. Broaden their use to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or special design. It should be kept in mind that there are degrees of disability. Some people are permanently and some only temporarily disabled. Temporary disability is called contextual disability. Example: when we carry a lot of things from the store, we have a baby in a stroller, we have a broken leg in a cast... When designing access to a residential building, access is not tested with a disabled person or with a contextually disabled person. For each such part of the urban environment, equal opportunities should be provided so that everyone can participate equally in social, economic, cultural and entertainment activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to move from the position of commentators and critics without constructive thinking, it is necessary to present positive examples. Professor Car, mentioned some of the positive examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Car presented the ARASAAC project, a non-commercial gallery of symbols and resources for augmentative and assisted communication. These resources can be freely used in classes and everyday life with one condition. The contents must be signed with the download address, with a caption below the contents. They make communication easier for everyone, not just people with disabilities. The project was financed by the Spanish government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In practice, shopping centers are rare buildings that respect all the principles of universal design. Cruisers for long cruises are perfectly equipped for PWDs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the design of user interfaces and the experiential design of websites and applications, care should be taken with the use of colors and the use of fonts. Using more than 3 colors has been shown to cause confusion in most of the population. There are specific groups of people, such as people with cerebral palsy, who benefit best from text and content in the red color spectrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People with dyslexia simply have different activities in the brain. When reading, the parts of the brain that are active in native Chinese speakers are activated. We must make sure that we have a sufficiently large contrast of the content text, at least it is 4.5:1, and it is preferable that it be 7:1. A specially developed font for people with dyslexia and dysgraphia, Open Dyslexic, proved to be poor in application. There is a typeface called OmoType which was developed in Croatia and which proved to be much better for this application. The OmoType typography was designed after thorough research and testing and has as many as 240 types of typefaces. In order to make the content as accessible as possible to a wider audience, it is necessary to use accessibility features that have been available for a long time and that have been developed as additions to the design of websites and applications. You should use fonts without serifs, sans-serif typography. It is mandatory to keep the possibility of returning to the initial settings. The advice for everyone is: familiarize yourself with the possibilities of accessibility settings on your computer and mobile phone. We never know which function could make it easier for us to use in our daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After these positive examples, we must not forget that there are still unresolved issues of accessibility of use. Working with the computer by moving the mouse turned out to be unintuitive. The use of tablets is more intuitive here. The use of holograms in mathematics classes for the presentation of geometric figures was presented as a major technological advance. The question arises whether this type of exposure is equally accessible to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ivana Macekovi\u0107 described the situation with universal design in teaching. Teachers who adapt the curriculum often create teaching materials themselves. In Croatia, there are almost no textbooks for students with disabilities for high school classes. Organizations like CAST are working to break down barriers and move towards universal learning conditions. Games such as the didactic-mathematical system NUMICON for teaching mathematics have a great positive impact. The competence network ICT-AAC for innovative services intended for people with complex communication needs is working on a multitude of projects that will raise awareness of the pursuit of universal design. In our region, we face the problem of adaptation because software solutions are not in the spirit of the Croatian language.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The topic \"Assisted communication\" was presented by Ivana Vuk, M.Sc. speech therapist. In order for the Unicef Charter on Communication Rights to take root in practice, considerable progress is being made in this field. Some of them are also technological achievements. For example, there is the GoTalk application and the BIGmack hardware solution. Along with the increasingly rich professional literature, there is a great need for simple literature that parents can use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/ponos.pou.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20221115_150820.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ponos.pou.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20221115_150820.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ponos.pou.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20221115_150820-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ponos.pou.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20221115_150820-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are thankful to the organizer CARNET for the invitation, the Centar za odgoj i obrazovanje for hosting and the top experts, lecturers, for the useful information from their lectures.
