- 3. Interactive environments Computer tools function in a controlled environment with little distractions whereas traditional education tools employ real world environments. Real world environments make tasks more difficult for children with autism, since they usually require rapid and flexible thinking. Interactive computer environments are able to provide the same set of conditions consistently; they are an attractive option for educating children with autism.
- 4. Interactive environments What is Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)? Computer systems function in a controlled environment with minimal distractions. Children with autism may feel “safe” when interacting with a computer, which promotes a positive experience. Computers also make it very easy for teachers and parents to monitor the autistic child’s progress. How do interactive environments work? Various interactive environments have been developed for the rehabilitation of children with autism. These environments are mostly introduced by means of software educational platforms. In order to provide knowledge in an ‘attractive’ way, these platforms use entertainment content in educational settings (edutainment). Photos or animated pictures/videos of daily life objects are presented on a computer monitor to encourage individuals with autism to distinguish objects based on their size, color and type. These photos can motivate children to correlate the objects with sounds and words. The platforms are usually supported by verbal and visual guidance in order to minimize the role of a monitoring teacher. What are Virtual Environments (VEs)? VEs are another active area of research for social interventions. They are able to mimic specific social situations in which the user can role-play. The stable and predictable environment provides the opportunity for interactions without the anxiety that often affects autistic people in social interactions. VEs offer safe, realistic-looking 3-dimensional (3D) scenarios that can be built to depict everyday social scenarios. One of the most important aspects of VEs used by individuals with autism in educational settings is their level of enjoyment; autistic individuals, especially children, are more interested in interacting with computers than with toys.
