Summary
Technological tools like augmented reality (AR) and serious games show promise for engaging individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in behavioral treatments. This review synthesizes evidence on AR, serious games, and PECS to guide future research.
Area of Science:
- * Interdisciplinary research integrating technology and behavioral science.
- * Focus on assistive technologies for neurodevelopmental disorders.
Background:
- * Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often require specialized approaches for behavioral treatments.
- * Traditional methods may lack engagement; novel technological solutions are needed.
- * Augmented reality (AR), serious games (SG), and Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) are emerging tools.
Purpose of the Study:
- * To systematically review and synthesize evidence on AR, SG, and PECS for ASD behavioral interventions from 2015-2020.
- * To identify trends, challenges, and future research directions in using these technologies.
- * To provide an overview of existing evidence for researchers and clinicians.
Main Methods:
- * Systematic review of five databases using keywords related to ASD, AR, SG, and PECS.
- * Screening of 1799 titles and abstracts.
- * Inclusion of 12 reviews and 43 primary studies for detailed analysis.
Main Results:
- * Analysis of trends in the application of AR, SG, and PECS for engaging individuals with ASD.
- * Identification of current challenges and limitations in the existing research.
- * Exploration of the effectiveness of these technologies in behavioral therapies.
Conclusions:
- * AR, SG, and PECS offer potential for enhancing engagement in behavioral treatments for ASD.
- * Further research is needed to establish best practices and efficacy.
- * This review provides a foundation for future studies and comparative analysis.

462
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
