An Interactive App for Learning Numeracy and Calculation for Children with Autism

Abstract

ASD - (Autism spectrum disorder) de nes a group of people who have some level of disabilities. Basically it represents a number of people of our society who are disabled mentally or physically. They do not have the proper opportunities of education. Education is the most important thing for a nation if it wants to develop. It is hard for such children to cope up with the traditional school system education. To serve them a better life by ghting against those disabilities and gain the basic educational knowledge in mathematics, we have developed a system for these special children to help them in learning mathematics. We introduced AR - (Augmented Reality) in our system to maximize the result. AR makes real world environment elements lively in the application. It will help the autistic children to understand the real environment easily. For developing this system we went through some processes, collected data from different ASD schools then simulated those data to generate graph and to get the nalresults which shows the efficiency of this application. As our designed system is already experimented in some school and the achieved result indicates positivity, so it can be said as a proof of concept. The application is colorful and attractive so that it gets the attention of every autistic child. For using AR, learning will be easy and fun for them. Hence it is an application which directly interacts with children; it is de nitely under the HCI (Human-computer interaction).
