“…While considerable autism research details high-tech device efficacy among behavioural, communication and socio-emotional skills development (Eliçin & Kaya, 2016), there is a paucity of literature describing technologies targeting attention, distraction and multisensitivity, sensory and other ecological/cognate concerns. The research becomes further infrequent in themes relating to RRBI and assistive technologies at school and in the workplace.…”

Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) is a life-long diagnosis, which has a subset of features including hyper-, seeking- and/or hypo-reactivity to sensory inputs or unusual interests (APA, 2013). These qualities are evident across environmental (e.g. response to specific sounds, visual fascination with lights or movements) and physiological domains (e.g. anxiety, respiration or euthermia). Scholars report that ninety (90%) of autistic adults experience sensory issues causing significant barriers at school/work (Leekam et al., 2007). As part of a larger PhD Research Project, this pilot study establishes designs, processes and measures that may establish if autistic individuals find value utilising adaptive/wearable interventions that possibly alter, redirect and/or attenuate disruptive stimuli. This study incorporates benign information not yet containing practical data, other than to provision and trial space where real data is nominally present. This pilot loads systems functionality for future use (e.g. consent, demographic collection, measures, post-mortem/survey feedback, storage, sorting, query, statistical analyses and reporting). Finally, this pilot provisions a follow-on and full-fledge Participant Public Involvement (PPI) designed to exploit data from focus group and co-produced surveys/designs. In turn, these may be used to inform an as-yet-to-be developed interventional prototype. Hence, the forthcoming PPI—by leveraging this pilot—aims to describe what degree sensory distractions occur among adolescent and adult ASC participants. Both pilot and PPI aspire to whether focus, anxiety and attentional concerns are perceived as negative issues and if individuals prefer assistance (vis à vis assistive wearables) to reduce anxiety, distractions and increase focus at school and at work (Bagley et al., 2016). This study results yield promise; in that, a subsequent PPI can be leveraged to obtain co-designed autistic data leading to a randomised clinical trial.

“…The significant contributions of assistive technologies for teaching and learning have produced the most support and recognized in many studies. Assistive technologies provide exciting possibilities for among ASD students, as most of them have intrinsic attitudes and preferences toward or aptitude for technology [3][4][5][6]. Indeed, empirical studies on the importance of related technology-assisted learning via Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) has proven its benefit individuals with a means to communicate with peers and family [7][8][9].…”

The purpose of this study is to identify the e-courseware effectiveness and Special Education (SpeEdu.) Teacher perception in Spectrum Disorders (ASD) students master in basic living skills. A total of five (5) practising SpeEdu teachers had participated in this study, and there was 4 total number of children involved in the study. The study used a pre-post experimental research design. The participating in-service teachers and ASD students were selected based on the criteria required. Pre-test and Post-test instruments were employed to gather ASD students' achievement scores. Analysis descriptive was carried out to understand and compare the differences between control and treatment group. The result indicated that BLS (Augmented Reality Animation) is more effective to be used rather than BSL (Static graphic) and respondents are more dominant and satisfied with the BLS (Augmented Reality Animation) presentation. The implications of this study are significant contributions to the Ministry of Education Malaysia (MOE), teachers, parents and caregivers.

The use of videogames as digital leisure among people with autism spectrum disorder

Digital leisure and specifically videogames are increasingly entrenched in all segments of society. Making appropriate use of them implies a challenge for users, families, and professionals. In the present study, the use that people with Autism Spectrum Disorders make of this sort of entertainment is specifically approached, and a series of recommendations are presented that take the characteristics of this population into account. A questionnaire was prepared ad hoc for data-collection purposes and administered to 67 people with ASD of different ages. The results reflect that videogames are a very popular type of game among people with ASD, are perceived as highly attractive and motivating and can help to lower anxiety levels. Among the undesired aspects, the physical problems arising from the use of videogames may be highlighted, and the problems of addiction and isolation that their continual use can provoke. The widespread acceptance of this type of leisure among people with ASD calls for new studies of a qualitative nature for the analysis of the relevant variables.
