Acompanhar RA: aplicativo utilizando o método TEACCH com realidade aumentada para crianças com Transtorno do Espectro Autista

Abstract

The Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurological condition characterized by difficulties in communication, social interaction, repetitive behaviors, and restricted interests. To promote the development and quality of life for individuals with ASD, it is essential to provide appropriate treatment and support. In this context, this monograph aims to develop a tool that utilizes Augmented Reality (AR) combined with the principles of the TEACCH method (Treatment and Education of Autistic and Related Communication Handicapped Children) to assist individuals affected by ASD. The tool aims to create an inclusive, dynamic, and interactive learning environment, emphasizing TEACCH principles such as visually and structurally organized surroundings to facilitate the learning and independence of these individuals. By combining AR technology with therapeutic principles of TEACCH, the tool seeks to encourage the development of ASD individuals' skills in an engaging and interactive manner. This approach aims to contribute to the advancement of treatment and therapeutic support for individuals with ASD by providing a learning environment adapted to their individual needs using the levels of work from TEACCH.
