What is ASTRAS?

ASTRAS is a software designed to enhance executive functions in children with specific learning disorders, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, primary language disorders, individuals with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder, and intellectual function deficits.

Train your executive functions

An alteration of executive functions is common across neurodevelopmental disorders. Thus, ASTRAS aims to enhance the main executive functions through an appropriate operationalization of the constructs. In doing so, a valid and effective solution is provided in this context.

Why you should use ASTRAS?

Evidence-based software

The usability and efficacy of ASTRAS have been tested in rehabilitation and educational settings. The results obtained have been shared in various studies published in international journals.

Cognitive profile

ASTRAS starts with 12 exercises designed to identify the areas of strength and weakness related to the child's executive functioning. These tasks are structured as small games with increasing complexity.

Cognitive training

ASTRAS consists of 40 games aiming at enhancing 5 specific executive functions. In addition, other exercises have been designed and included to train multiple executive functions simultaneously within ecological contexts tied to the child's daily life.

Gamification

The assessment and treatment exercises for executive functions take place within game scenarios to make the experience more enjoyable and stimulating.

Data

ASTRAS allows data to be collected and reviewed to monitor the child's progress. The software presents both general data on performance accuracy for each assessment and each exercise, and more specific data that make it possible to structure a rehabilitation and enhancement path based on the child's real needs.

Monitoring

ASTRAS provides the ability to visualize the child's performance in graphical form and maintain a history of the training sessions in order to monitor the child's progress over time.

In-person and remote interventions

ASTRAS utilizes two modes (Tutor and Child) that enable users to conduct the assessment and treatment of executive functions both in-person and remotely.

Group interventions

ASTRAS includes a feature that allows work groups to be created, making it possible to provide assessment and training exercises to multiple children simultaneously.

Other tools for enhancing and supporting learning

ASTRAS also contains other tools designed to improve and support the child's learning and abilities: the Tachistoscope to train reading accuracy, fluency, and speed; Hangman to enhance metaphonological awareness; Concept maps useful for structuring and organizing knowledge. All tools are highly customizable to adapt them to each child's needs.

ASTRAS has been developed through Unity3d (a cross-platform graphics engine developed by Unity Technologies that allows the development of video games and other interactive content) made available for major platforms (PC and tablets) and operating systems (Android®, Windows®, and macOS®). Additionally, a fully accessible online version has been developed, accessible through all web browsers.
