Abstract-This study evaluates the use and efficacy of mobile technology so as to provide assessment and treatment intervention to children and adults with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Learning and behavioural data for assessment can be captured and interpreted through mobile technology, but the complexity of this data in special education can sometimes discourage staff from using it. Mobile technology intervention, in conjunction with ad hoc applications for ASD individuals, can contribute to the individuals' needs to a great extent. Needless to say, speech generating devices (SGDs) are very supportive tools for autistic people who mostly suffer from limited speech, especially devices which are portable. The use of mobile technology to enhance academic skills, among others, is being investigated. Although this technology is new, the autistic community has expressed its enthusiasm about it. If all parties involved, such as educators, caregivers, sufferers and families participated in the design and implementation of the appropriate apps, this could best suit ASD individuals' needs and would provide them with a better quality of life.
Abstract-The aim of this report is to provide systematic analysis of studies investigating ICT tools for children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders. They are categorized into ICT assessment tools and ICT intervention tools. The review outlines the origin of each tool, its functionality by describing certain technological features and how it attributes to this scientific field. On the one hand, there are many ICT tools that contribute in the diagnosis of ASD. On the other hand, ICT intervention tools play also an important role, trying to enhance both cognitive and social abilities of the ASD child. Through the review of these articles, we try to investigate how far they have come in meeting these targets.
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder across children population and much research is being conducted to find the best ADHD treatment. Neurofeedback (NF) is widely used for the treatment of ADHD, thus such ADHD cases will be reviewed in this study. As an introduction, a short overview of the definition of ADHD and Neurofeedback, as well as the history of neurofeedback in ADHD will be given. The main part of the paper will present a literature review of neurofeedback in ADHD while mentioning the effects of this treatment. Results and evaluation of NF applications among other treatments are to be discussed in the conclusion, showing that NF is quite promising on ADHD subjects.
This report's objective is to offer a thorough study of studies looking at ICT tools for kids with autism spectrum disorders. ICT assessment tools and ICT intervention tools are two categories for them. The evaluation describes each tool's background, functionality, and relationship to this scientific discipline while explaining specific technological features. The result is that a variety of ICT technologies can help with ASD diagnosis. ICT intervention tools, on the other hand, cannot be very promising. This is because there is now no effective way to cure these illnesses completely. Furthermore, since the tests haven't been conducted for a long time, the results cannot be relied upon.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
