Game to develop rhythm and coordination in children with hearing impairments

Children1 with hearing impairments have deficits and delays in their psychomotor skills, among them in the perception of rhythm. In this work we present the design procedure and criteria of an app that can help these children to train their rhythm skills and consequently improve their visual motor coordination.
