Autism has traditionally been defined in terms of a 'triad of impairments' (Wing 1988),these impairments, or deviances from typical developmental trajectories, are said toaffect three main areas: flexibility of thought and behaviour, understanding of socialbehaviours, and communication. In real terms, this means that people who have autismspectrum conditions (ASCs) often require adapted educational environments, due totheir preference for fixed routines, and their requirement for additional support inlearning social cues, behaviours, and effective communication strategies. Due to theincreased political pressure for fully inclusive education systems since the mid-90s andincreasing number of ASC diagnoses, children with ASC are increasingly educatedwithin mainstream educational settings. Given the flexibility and ever-increasingcapabilities of modern technology, it seems likely that it may be a useful tool to alleviatesome of conflicts arising between the needs of children with ASC and the demandsplaced on them within mainstream educational settings. However, while many papersexploring the efficacy of particular technology-based interventions exist, there has beenlittle work to how it is currently used to facilitate education in real-world settings. Thisproject therefore aims to study the use of technology that facilitates inclusion bysupporting everyday transitions, it will both look at actual practise and its potentialusage both in a mainstream and a home-education context.

传统上，自闭症被定义为“三重障碍”（Wing 1988），这些障碍或偏离典型发展轨迹，据说会影响三个主要领域：思想和行为的灵活性，对社会行为的理解和沟通。在真实的方面，这意味着患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASCs）的人通常需要适应的教育环境，因为他们偏好固定的日常生活，并且他们需要额外的支持来学习社交线索，行为和有效的沟通策略。由于自90年代中期以来，全纳教育系统的政治压力越来越大，ASC诊断数量也越来越多，越来越多的ASC儿童在主流教育环境中接受教育。鉴于现代技术的灵活性和不断增加的能力，它似乎可能是一个有用的工具，以消除患有ASC的儿童的需求与主流教育环境中对他们的要求之间产生的一些冲突。然而，虽然有许多论文探讨了特定的基于技术的干预措施的有效性，但目前如何在现实世界中使用它来促进教育的工作却很少。因此，本项目旨在研究通过支持日常转变来促进包容的技术的使用，它将着眼于主流和家庭教育背景下的实际实践及其潜在用途。
