Is It Possible to Improve the Learning of Children with ASD Through Augmented Reality Mobile Applications?

Abstract:

At present, many researchers and software companies have created a number of mobile applications based on augmented reality that promote learning spaces in children, however, we find few studies where an intervention is carried out with this emerging technology in children with autism. This research sought to verify whether mobile applications can be used in teaching-learning processes in children diagnosed with ASD, the intervention was worked through a multidisciplinary team, which was attended by psychologists, computer engineers, parents and a ASD patient; A curricular strategy was established to verify whether the indicators: cognitive, procedural and communicative after the intervention with RA improve the ability to learn. The experience is described through a case study that shows encouraging results and to some extent promising on the use of new technologies to improve the quality of life of children with ASD.
