Description
Summary:Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs), a neuro-developmental disability in children is a cause of major concern. Children with ASDs often find it difficult to express and recognize emotions, which makes it hard for them to interact socially. Conventional methods use medicinal means, special education and behavioral analysis. They are not always successful and are usually expensive. There is a significant need to develop technology-based methods for effective intervention and cure. This report proposes the use of game based learning through the medium of tablet personal computers like Apple Inc.’s iPad to teach Social Emotional Learning (SEL) to children with ASDs and others special needs.
