Simple touch sensor based game as ambient assistive device for mild autism spectrum disorder children

This paper will be showing the development of a system that will act as an ambient system for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This system will be in a form of an interactive game using touch sensor as the main component. A research was done to develop the best possible game that could help maximize the impact of this system to help said children to develop necessary skills needed to change the trajectory of their brain to be more similar to children with normal brain development. The research done was based on Early Intervention Programme, a module usually used to help young children reduce symptoms of their condition. In particular, the game was designed by taking consideration important skills that is helpful in the early intervention program. This study focuses on early start Denver model that provides useful information on the development of skills for children with ASD during therapy. The proposed system will implement some of the physical therapy done by the therapist but in the form of an interactive game.
