[Supporting an ASD child with digital tools]

Abstract

Autism spectrum disorders lead to a long-term and severe impairment of communication and social interactions. The expansion of information and communication technologies, through digital applications which can be used on different devices, can be used to support these functions necessary for the development of children with ASD. Applications, serious games and even humanoid robots help to boost children's interest in learning. They must however form part of a broader range of therapies.
