The project "Computer technologies as a facilitator during the literacy process of people with down syndrome" known as Alfadown, is an extension project and developed by the Program of Reference in Social Inclusion (PRIS) of the Pontifical Catholic University of Goiás. The project aims to assist in the development of the written and verbal language of people with Down Syndrome (DS), through the use of computational technologies. The storytelling robot is a specific case of a sociable robot offering mechanisms that enables a natural and intuitive communication, while also aiming to replace the human during a narrative. The storytelling prototype used some elements from various technologies that includes, Emolab, Curious Learning, Application Programming Interfaces (API), Text to Speech from IBM Watson, and Unity. In order to evaluate volunteer learners of the Alfadown project, a questionnaire and stipulated activities were formulated for the implementation of test cases. To be able to measure the level of understanding of the story told and to attach data analysis from Emolab. This made it possible to analyze the following variables obtained from emolab: attention, engagement, valence, anger, contempt, disgust, fear, joy, sadness, and surprise. The conclusions obtained in this work, are in related to complexity, originality, and future works.
