Development of Educational Web Software to Enhance Learning Outcomes for Children and Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Lima, Peru

Abstract

Currently, it is clear that many children and adolescents, whether in face-to-face or virtual classrooms, face learning difficulties. In some cases, this is attributed to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). To tackle this issue, the creation of web-based software is proposed to support the education of these children and adolescents. This software aims to offer crucial assistance, such as helping students recognize gestures shown by their teachers and peers. Numerous instances can be found in Peru of ASD. In contrast to other nations, Peru has opted to implement software to aid these students, demonstrating promising outcomes such as enhanced comprehension of educational material and better recognition and expression of emotions. By effectively utilizing technology in the education of children and adolescents with ASD, significant improvements in learning outcomes can be achieved. © 2024 Seventh Sense Research Group®
