Abstract
The increasing prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has made this as one of the largest disability groups. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is considered as a lifelong developmental disability impacting on three main areas; communication skills, behavioural patterns and health. The main focus of this research is on the use of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) solutions as part of assistive and wearable technologies for children with ASD. Specifically, the present study will identify benefits and limitations of the use of these technologies. Of major concern in terms of the use of both technologies, is their limited ability to improve the communication skills and health monitoring of children diagnosed with ASD. This research presents a framework for wearable technology that assists children with ASD through enhancing their communication skills, improving behaviour and facilitating health monitoring.
