**6. Concluding remaks**

In recent years there has been a trend in software development for the treatment of various motor and cognitive disorders of people with disabilities. In particular, the use of augmented reality technology has been highlighted and enhanced by having an attractive interface generating greater motivation and consequently greater acceptance and participation in therapeutic treatment.

It is important to involve a multidisciplinary team during the inception of a virtual environment for therapeutic interventions. Thus, it is necessary to analyze the characteristics and abilities of patients considering their limitations. Therefore, a team of engineers conducted this research along with AACD therapists. The team especially considered patients treated in the field of music therapy in order to stimulate their musicality functions (through the motor potential), a cognitive characteristic, motivational aspects and individual characteristics.

Results showed that GenVirtual can be useful to include therapeutic interventions for cognitive learning, motor, psychological and social stimulation through musicality. Social programs have disseminated computers even in low-income families. And since the system is based on a conventional computational platform, the prototype can already be used at home. This may provide for family involvement in complementary activities. Therefore, the sequences of operations with GenVirtual may involve stages of maturation or development, gradual learning, development of personal relationships, the performance, composition and spontaneous child improvisation, exploration, experimentation and alternatives selection, as well as ongoing evaluation of the effects of therapy on patient's progress through treatment targets.

Nevertheless, the virtual environments do not replace conventional medical therapies, but the tool will help empower existing treatments. We consider the positive data collected as a result of the patients' satisfaction evaluations and the family feedback is a preliminary result that needs to be extended to a greater number of individuals ('n') to confirm or not the encountered results.
