Improving the performance of children with autism through an adaptive learning system \

Abstract EN

Children with autism experience significant impairments in social, behavioural and communication skills.

These impairment levels varies between children and that made teaching autistics a challenge.

Hence, assistive technology offers an alternative way to attract autistics to learning using representational visual illustration as a learning method instead of textual forms.

The development of the ALS for children with autism is visually customisable to suite the individuals needs taking in considerations the simplicity of the interface based on the child computer interaction principles.

This paper presents the ALS evaluation throughout observations and autism treatment evaluation assessment of traditional learning methods compared to the proposed intervention learning methods.

The evaluation results reflect the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed prototype for children and caregivers at home or at schools to influence children to improve their skills and enhance their performance in their daily life activities.
