“…Firstly, children with autism often face challenges in social interactions with others, and according to the Autism Society of America, more than half of children with autism may not be able to engage in two-way conversations with people [5]. The socializing used by children with autism differs from the normal population but, at the same time, the group with autism is more isolated and desires to have socialization more than the normal population [6]. This means that they are unable to interact socially with their peers as normal children do, and they are unable to have friendly interactions with their peers, thus creating a huge sense of isolation and huge problems in socializing.…”

As the special group of autistic children gradually receives attention from society, the issue of special education for autistic children has gradually attracted the attention of all sectors of society and teachers. In particular, educational institutions should make effective use of the cooperation between school and family, to solve the problems and difficulties encountered by autistic children in teaching. Through extensive literature reading and research, This study identifies the difficulties that autistic children may encounter in specific educational institutions, and analyzes the impact of the model of home-school cooperation on the education of such special children.Then gives specific suggestions from these three parts. It was found that home-school co-operation in special education institutions can effectively help autistic children to solve the difficulties encountered in their education, as well as help teachers to solve the difficulties encountered in their education. As the key person in home-school co-operation, the educational development of autistic children can be effectively promoted through effective communication with parents in many aspects. Thus, autistic children can better receive excellent education.

“…Turning to the broader scope of XR, the effectiveness of these interventions remains a subject of debate. One review included seventeen articles across five databases aimed to assess the effectiveness of XR interventions in enhancing social skills among autistic children [27]. Unfortunately, the study quality varied greatly, with a majority of studies being relatively low quality.…”

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects millions of individuals worldwide, and there is growing interest in the use of extended reality (XR) technologies for intervention. Despite the promising potential of XR interventions, there remain gaps in our understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms underlying ASD, particularly in relation to sex-based differences. This scoping review synthesizes the current research on brain activity patterns in ASD, emphasizing the implications for XR interventions and neurofeedback therapy. We examine the brain regions commonly affected by ASD, the potential benefits and drawbacks of XR technologies, and the implications of sex-specific differences for designing effective interventions. Our findings underscore the need for ongoing research into the neurobiological underpinnings of ASD and sex-based differences, as well as the importance of developing tailored interventions that consider the unique needs and experiences of autistic individuals.

Learning Experience Design of Project PHoENIX: Addressing the Lack of Autistic Representation in Extended Reality Design and Development

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper presents Project PHoENIX, which stands for Participatory, Human-centered, Equitable, Neurodiverse, Inclusive, eXtended reality. The project aims to co-produce research with autistic users to create a virtual reality (VR) environment that is highly usable, accessible, and sensitive to the needs and preferences of these individuals. Project PHoENIX utilizes participatory design within a learning experience design (LXD) frame to locate autistic people, their caregivers, and providers centrally in the processes of immersive technology design and development, as well as research design and execution. An overarching literature review on VR and autism and issues of limited design precedent of VR environments with autistic participants is provided, as well as details on the Project PHoENIX design framework, project description, and project design outcomes. Details are provided on how the online VR environment was co-designed and co-developed through collaborative research with autistic stakeholders while being sensitive to their needs and preferences. Research findings and implications are discussed regarding the design process, constraints, principles, and insights. The paper concludes by discussing lessons learned and how this project can provide much-needed design precedent for advancing the field towards a more inclusive, human-centered, and neurodiverse VR research and development paradigms.
