Abstract:

Development, deployment, and evaluation of interactive technologies for
individuals with autism have been rapidly increasing over the last decade.
There is great promise for the use of these types of technologies to enrich
interventions, facilitate communication, and support data collection.
Emerging technologies in this area also have the potential to enhance
assessment and diagnosis of individuals with autism, to understand the
nature of autism, and to help researchers conduct basic and applied
research. This book provides an in-depth review of the historical and
state-of-the-art use of technology by and for individuals with autism. The
intention is to give readers a comprehensive background in order to
understand what has been done and what promises and challenges lie ahead. By
providing a classification scheme and general review, this book can also
help technology designers and researchers better understand what
technologies have been successful, what problems remain open, and where
innovations can further address challenges and opportunities for individuals
with autism and the variety of stakeholders connected to them. Read More
