Autism Spectrum Disorder

981
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.

Area of Science:

  • Pedestrian safety research
  • Autism spectrum disorder interventions
  • Game-based learning

Background:

  • Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often face challenges in acquiring essential life skills, including pedestrian safety.
  • Traditional methods for teaching safety skills may not be effective for all children with ASD.
  • There is a need for innovative, engaging tools to support skill development in this population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the conceptualization, design, and technical evaluation of the RedMan-GreenMan game.
  • To develop a game co-designed with carers to enhance pedestrian safety skills in children with autism.
  • To provide a functional and technically sound system for future empirical evaluation.

Main Methods:

  • Co-design methodology involving carers of children with autism.
  • Iterative game development process focusing on user needs.
  • Technical evaluation of system functionality and performance.

Main Results:

  • The RedMan-GreenMan game has been successfully conceptualized, designed, and technically evaluated.
  • The system is implemented and in active use.
  • The focus was on system development and functionality, not empirical learning outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • The RedMan-GreenMan game represents a novel, co-designed tool for teaching pedestrian safety to children with autism.
  • The technical evaluation confirms the system's functionality and readiness for further development.
  • Future research should focus on empirical evaluation of learning outcomes and behavioral impact.
