Simple Touch Sensor-based Game as Ambient Assistive Device for Mild Autism Spectrum Disorder Children

As of today, children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are becoming an increasingly common occurrence in our schools and society. Consequently, this increases the need to develop assistive devices for ASD children. This paper shows the development of a system designed to facilitate learning in ASD children. This Arduino-based game is equipped with common components such as touch sensor, MP3 player and LEDs to increase replicability. A research was done based on the Early Intervention module to develop a game that could help improve cognitive skill of ASD children. Early Interventions for children with ASD has proven to be effective in reducing ASD symptoms.
