Abstract

This paper presents a smartphone application that provides learning and communication support to children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), especially in emergency situations. This application provides learning with video modeling in case of disaster, i.e., fire and rain to instruct the ASD children about safety skills. In addition, the application eases collaboration support between caregivers and ASD children. The single-subject design is used to measure the usefulness of the application, and the analysis is performed for two males and one female ASD children. The results show that the proposed application enhances the satisfaction level of all the participants with significant improvement in learning skills.
