尽管在早期诊断和干预方面有了很大的进步，但大多数被诊断患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的儿童在成年后不太可能独立生活。我们一直在研究新的基于计算机的干预措施，目的是促进社会技能。我们与26名自闭症儿童、他们的老师和其他利益相关者合作，反复开发了一套基于多点触控平板电脑上运行的应用程序的活动。我们的观察表明，这些活动增加了亲社会行为，如合作和协调，增强了对社会活动的欣赏，并为儿童提供了新颖的表达形式。
In spite of great improvements in early diagnosis and interventions, most children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are unlikely to live independently when they reach adulthood. We have been conducting research on novel computer-based interventions with the goal of promoting social skills. Working with 26 children with ASD, their teachers, and other stakeholders, we have iteratively developed a set of activities based on applications that run on multitouch tablets. Our observations suggest these activities increased pro-social behaviors such as collaboration and coordination, augmented appreciation for social activities, and provided children with novel forms of expression.
