Alternative Method for Literacy of Autistic Spectrum Disorder's (ASD) Children

摘要

The game Smooth Path aims to aid Autistic Spectrum Disorder's (ASD) children to learn while they are playing and moving. This paper presents the software and the results of APAE's specialists tests. The system uses the Kinect Xbox 360 sensor, which allows the interaction between the user and the computer without the aid of a physical control. In order to be effective in teaching children with ASD, interviews and reviews of the usability of the prototypes were carry out with the APAE's specialists who experience the difficulties that autistic children face with the standard teaching in schools.
