Title
Pivotal Response
Training For Autism Children
Abstract
Children
with Autism Spectrum Disorder will engage virtual applications that provide
interaction based on Pivotal Response Treatment to increased levels of social
behaviour.
Target
Audience
Children
Goal
1.
What is the goal of the whole application?
To help Autistic children increased level
of social behaviour.
2.
What is the application trying to solve? (problem statement)
Autism person cannot be recognise by
looking at them. No one “looks” autistic. When a person is autistic, it just
means their brain works differently. Most kids with autism are good at some
things but have to work harder at others like normal kids that maybe well in
sports but is afraid of public speaking. Everyone has things they’re good at,
and things they have to work harder at. One way that brains can be different
is that some people have an autism spectrum disorder.
Normal person
tend to misunderstood autism action like spinning around for a long time,
flapping their arms, jumping up and down a lot, or rocking back and forth.
Those repetitive activities are called stims, and they’re
doing it because it feels good, or it’s relaxing, or its fun, or as a way to
block out too much noise around them. They also tend to have trouble
with facial expressions. Kids with autism won’t know how you’re feeling just
by looking at your face. Also, sometimes their facial expressions won’t match
how they’re actually feeling. Often, if your friend with autism doesn’t seem
to have any expression on her face, it just means she’s still
thinking about something. If you’re not sure how someone is feeling, you need
to ask them.
Individuals with Autism are individuals.
Just like other people are little different, all people with autism are also
different. If you met a kid with red hair who really likes Transformers, you
wouldn’t expect every person with red hair to really like Transformers. It’s
the same thing with autism. Not every autistic person likes the same stuff,
is good at the same things, or has a hard time with the same things. They’re
individuals just like you’re an individual.
This is what the application is trying to
solve. Autistic children have problems with socialization. With the virtual applications, we want to
motivate Autistic children to talk and communicate with their peer, parents
and their siblings. We want them to think it is fun to communicate and it is
fun to use their language.
3. What is the advantage of VR that can
be exploited to enhance project?
This interactive application would attract
Autistic children to use it as it will be more fun and attractive. The advantages
are also to give safety to Autistic children and people around them.
4. Is this project new or has it been
created before? If yes, why are you doing it again?
Documentaries, animated series of social skills for kids, applications
on android and Apple, Web-Based Software, videos and movie related to Autism have been made.
I also wanted to contribute a virtual application for Autism children for
their treatment.
Objectives
·
To attract Autistic children to use the
virtual applications through virtual environment and interaction
·
To teach Autistic children based on
Pivotal Response Training in virtual environment through interaction
·
To
allow Autistic children apply on what their learn in a virtual environment and interact with
it
Benchmark

Level
2: Then users will move on to learn about things and will be based on Pivotal
Response Treatment research.
Level
3: After that, users will apply their knowledge in a virtual test and will be
rewarded with collections of what they like.
User will be using controller/keyboard and
view through PC screen or Oculus Rift.
