“…Among various computerized solutions for ADHD such as desktop or mobile/touch-based support for training or therapy [8], virtual classrooms [5], and biofeedback [4,15], only few applications exist that go beyond the desktop paradigm and allow users to move freely in a space [6,10]. They utilize embodied technologies for tracking of body/hand gestures and movements, thus, enabling interaction with objects on a large media screen.…”

This paper describes a therapeutic full-body controlled video game for children with attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).The game supports a co-located gameplay with a depth-sensing camera and a large media screen. Children play the game in pairs for improved impulse and behavior control, self-regulation, peer-communication, and emotion regulation. The gaming was implemented as a part of a neuropsychological group intervention for children with confirmed deficits in attention or diagnosed ADHD. We present a final design of the game and associated gaming routines, explain anticipated health benefits of the gaming, outline how the gaming can be used for research and therapeutic purposes, and provide directions for future research.

“…Pervasive games are gaining importance in the last years: these games are usually played in an interactive space, in which several user interfaces following a multimodal approach work together. Pervasive games have proven to be useful in several fields, including the educational field and also in the field of treatment and rehabilitation for children with special needs, such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) [18] or Autism. Children with special needs often experience a deficit in executive functioning (EF) and assistive technology can facilitate organization, time management and planning [19].…”

Augmented Interaction Systems for Supporting Autistic Children. Evolution of a Multichannel Expressive Tool: The SEMI Project Feasibility Study

Background: Over the past ten years, the authors have been designing, developing, and testing pervasive technology to support children with autism (ASD). Methods: In the present study, an integrated system based on multimedia and augmented interaction technologies have been tested on young subjects with ASD and dyspraxia in the age range of 6–10 years, in charge for rehabilitation treatments; a team of clinical psychologists has analyzed the results of the experimentation. The ten children involved in the project underwent an initial assessment of praxis skills and motor coordination. Subsequently, the subjects were subdivided into two subgroups: five children participated in the experimentation and five were evaluated as the control group (treatment as usual). Results: The evaluation showed an increased score in the several aspects considered, and particularly those related to motor coordination. An improvement in balancing tests and in hands-movement testing was found. Conclusion: The children involved in the sessions showed greater ability to self-control the movement as well as to select specific motor areas. The methods used seem to be promising to improve emotional and social skills too in a motivating and enjoyable climate. A high level of acceptance by professionals was observed and parents’ feedback was also positive.
