- Using the game as an educational tool: The game plays an important role as a vehicle for educational content and as a facilitator in relationships between the deaf child, peers and adults, contributing to their cognitive and social development.
- Training expert operators on deafness and gaming: Another key point is the specialization of operators so that they are able to face the challenges related to deafness and offer suitable and inclusive gaming experiences. This commitment includes the guarantee of continuous training.
