Using Apps and Games as Assistive Technology for Autistic Children

Studies into the behaviour of children with autism suggest that they show a preference for interacting with objects rather than with other people. People's social behaviour can be very subtle and can seem to be widely unpredictable to an autistic child. Simple interactions with other people can present themselves as a very confusing and possibly stressful experiences to children with autism.

The use of apps and games have become more of a common for students with autism spectrum disorder. Current research has provided evidence that individuals on the autism spectrum often have relatively strong visual processing skills and a predilection towards electronic media. The use of technology has also proven effective in teaching almost all students with intellectual and developmental learning disabilities.
