Augmented Reality Supporting Reading Skills of Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Intervention in School and Clinic, 2019

Teachers’ use of video modeling has been established as an evidence-based practice for teaching students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Augmented reality (AR) applications can be used as tools to provide trigger-based, video-modeled instructional supports to students with ASD. The use of AR in this way may help teachers implement evidence-based reading skills practice such as video modeling and provide more independent practice opportunities. It also provides more options for student engagement and concept representation. This article describes ideas for how to use a particular AR application to (a) teach phonics and word identification, (b) support reading fluency, (c) embed videos into texts as cues for reading comprehension, (d) teach content area vocabulary words, and (e) use video models during transition planning.

Assisting Speech Therapy for Autism Spectrum Disorders with an Augmented Reality Application

Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems, 2014

Graphics based systems of Augmented and Alternative Communication are widely used to promote communication of people with Autism Spectrum Disorders. However, studies indicate the inability of some of these people in understanding the used symbols. This study discusses an integration of Augmented Reality in communication interventions, by relating elements of Augmented and Alternative Communication and Applied Behaviour Analysis strategies. An Augmented Reality based interactive system to support interventions is discussed, and the report of its usage in interventions with children suffering from Autism Spectrum Disorders is presented.
