Detailed Description

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a developmental disability that affects around 1 in 44 children. Children with ASD tend to have problems communicating with others and building healthy social relationships. There are many levels of ASD, and children on the spectrum may display mild symptoms or very severe ones. Severe ASD requires quite a bit of intervention, and aids have been made for children who have severe ASD and are non-verbal. However, children with moderate symptoms are usually not non-verbal but still struggle with certain aspects of communication and social niceties. The aim of this project is to focus on the children who have moderate ASD and build an aid that focuses on their social skills as well as communication skills, keeping emotional learning and understanding as the central point of focus.
