Intensive, Adaptive Training on Missing Language and Reading Skills for Students with Autism

Abstract

Autism is a disorder related to neural development. The information inside the brain isnt processed correctly which is the main symptom of this disorder. The impacts of this disorder are: tendency of obsession, deficiency in language and social introversion. Children that suffer from ASD suffer difficulties in memorizing and reciting words and relating them to how they appear or behave. Some of them are unable to express them- selves as their mind doesnt process information properly. Existing technologies render children being bored or simply, not interested in learning. These children need specially designed, interactive ways to learn and communicate. This module of the project is aimed at providing a fun and interactive platform to such children via video games. As children learn more from what they observe, this would help them learn more and in a better way than the rest of the available technologies. The game named Robodog shall be a gun game to help children memorize words along with the pictures of how they appear. This platform shall be divided into different levels to help them learn difficult words and their characteristics.
