En las personas con Trastorno del Espectro del Autismo (TEA), las habilidades relacionadas con la planificación y la flexibilidad mental suelen estar afectadas. Contar con aplicaciones que faciliten la anticipación de situaciones cotidianas o imprevistas puede contribuir significativamente a reducir los niveles de estrés y ansiedad de estas personas. Con este propósito se desarrolló PlanTEA, una aplicación móvil basada en pictogramas que soporta la planificación, anticipación y estructuración de actividades y rutinas. La versión más reciente (PlanTEA 3.0) incorpora funcionalidades orientadas a mejorar la usabilidad, la accesibilidad, la personalización y la adaptación a distintos perfiles de participantes.
En este trabajo se describen dos evaluaciones complementarias, una con participantes con un perfil más técnico y conocimientos en usabilidad y accesibilidad, y otra con profesionales de atención directa a personas con TEA. Los resultados muestran altos niveles de satisfacción en términos de usabilidad, utilidad y aceptación. No obstante, se identificaron áreas de mejora relacionadas con la carga cognitiva, la necesidad de acompañamiento formativo y la accesibilidad práctica para diferentes perfiles de usuarios. En conjunto, los hallazgos consolidan a PlanTEA como una solución tecnológica inclusiva, adaptable y de alto potencial para su aplicación en contextos educativos, clínicos y familiares, y sienta las bases para trabajos futuros en el ámbito de la tecnología asistiva dirigida a personas con TEA.
