Project Abstract

There is a lack of applications in Arabic that serve specific groups such as children with autism. Autism includes impairments in social interaction and developmental language and communication skills combined with rigid and repetitive behaviors. The studies indicate that the children are positively influenced by applications by showing better verbal interaction and the physical activity are increased at activities when using applications. This project aims to facilitate some of the difficulties faced by children with ASD by using technology. But what are the most important difficulties that need technology support and which technology is most effective with children with ASD? Through our searches, visits and interviews with ASD centers we came to that most children with ASD face challenges in most self-care skills, such as teeth brushing, eating, bathing, and others. Also, one of the suggestions from the therapists is to use AR technology and how it facilitates children's learning as they are attracted to the notable things like 3D objects and interact with them in a positive way. The results of this project will be Maher application which support children with ASD in learning number of self-care skills and prepare them to realize these skills and their tools faster and in loveable approach through the use of AR technology in Arabic language.
