The aim of the study is to determine the effects of usage of augmented reality for Restricted and repetitive behavior and executive function of children with autism spectrum disorder

Full description

Augmented Reality allows children to see a representation of imaginary content and pretend play overlaid on the real-world environment. Today, technology can be a safe and motivating way of engaging children with autism in social interaction activities. Current research in therapeutic technology for autism is aimed toward improving behavior and psychomotor activities that impact social communication. The aim of this research project is to help teachers, parents, practitioners, and researchers to understand the unique strengths of their children with autism along with technology based educational and therapeutic activities for home and classroom.
