“…The researchers have proposed a separate set of questionnaires and evaluation patterns of scripts and canvases for caregivers, specialists, and clients. Eleven design considerations have been explored (Hasan & Islam, 2020) by requirement elicitation study to design and develop tabletop learning tools for children with ASD. The researchers applied ethnography and a semi-structured interviewing approach for the requirements elicitation.…”

"This research explores the explicit requirements to design and develop ICTbased learning solutions for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). A requirement elicitation study has been conducted for six weeks of the study’s in Pune, India. The study sample size is fifteen (N=15), with an age limit between five to twelve years old. All the participants have been diagnosed with ASD and undergoing a skills development process in the same institution for at least six months. The outcomes of this research are tri-fold. Firstly, identify the twelve explicit requirements to design and develop ICT-based learning solutions considering the challenges due to autism. Secondly, conformity to the existing Multi Agent based Persuasive Education (MAPE) model with revealed requirements. Thirdly, propose an Internet of Things (IoT) based framework to observe and record the learning performance of ASD-affected children. The unique contribution of this study is to develop a Level-5 IoT framework to incorporate the requirements revealed through the participatory design approach for implementing ICT-based learning solutions. The proposed framework forms the basis for developing a dataset to identify the learning patterns and new requirements for ASD-affected children through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)."

“…This research is an extension of our previous research where two co-authors presented a set of eleven design principles for the development of a tabletop interactive device (Hasan & Islam, 2020). By following the design principles, the research team developed a prototype of such a device and tested it in a specialized school located in a South-Asian country.…”

The research on computer mediated interventions and technologies (e.g., digital tabletop tool) that have seminal relevance to the intervention strategies designed for the children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) mostly remain confined within the developed nation. The objective of this study is threefold: firstly, to reveal the design principles to be followed in developing an interactive and affordable computer-enabled table-top tool for the children with special needs; secondly, to develop a physical prototype following the revealed principles; and finally, to evaluate the usability performance of this tool. This study presents a mixed method research while the data collection process includes both ethnographic study and semi-structured interviews of both the teachers and students of a special school dedicated for teaching the children with ASD. As outcomes, along with a list of design principles, and a prototype of a computer-enabled, single touch, single user, and affordable educational intervention tool targeting the children diagnosed with ASD, the results of the empirical evaluation of the prototype demonstrated high effectiveness (72% average success rate for the students vs. 92% for the teachers), efficiency (1.20 minutes average task completion time for the students vs. 0.48 minutes for the teachers) and satisfaction rate (4.46 for the students vs. 4.66 for the teachers out of 5) for the developed tool. Both types of the participants were found satisfied with the usability of the tabletop prototype and positively endorsed its effectiveness in improving the learning environment of the children with special needs.

“…Also, developments of interactive digital tabletop learning tools ( N . Hasan & Islam, 2020) to provide educational assistance are on the rise. Children are more prone to use games than adults, and it is evident that children with ASD gain significant satisfaction from the gaming experience (Hughes et al, 2016).…”

The objective of this article is to design, develop, and evaluate an Internet of Things (IoT)-based serious gaming platform for children with autism spectrum disorder The platform aims to improve the children’s cognitive skills. To attain this research objective, first, a conceptual framework for developing the gaming platform was proposed. Then, the conceptual ideas were materialized by developing three games (a puzzle game, a function card game, and a road crossing game) to be included in the gaming platform, which also incorporated a mobile application and three hardware systems. The hardware platform was used to play the game, and the mobile application was used to select, control, manage, and store the gaming performance and visualize players’ progress. The proposed gaming platform was evaluated with 15 special needs children. We found that the gaming platform was usable, effective, and useful for the children on the spectrum and noticeably contributed to improving their cognitive skills.
