“…Virtual reality has also been used to support the learning of life skills, such as shopping (Lanyi and Tilinger 2004), safety behaviours in emergencies (Self et al 2007) and street and fire safety (Strickland et al 2007). These studies illustrate cases where virtual reality is uniquely placed to offer an opportunity for rehearsal of a skill without the risks associated with a realworld training scenario.…”

Computer-assisted learning is an approach which has been used widely to support people with autism spectrum disorders. Commercial and research-driven technologies continue to be produced at a rapid rate, particularly mobile device applications. However, the field lacks a consistent, evidencebased methodology for design, implementation and evaluation of these technologies. This review collates published evidence for the value of CAL in autism education and therapy, with a specific view to identifying best practice in design, implementation and evaluation. The future of research in CAL for autism is considered including the need for relevant theoretical underpinnings, and appropriate responses from researchers and practitioners to novel technologies.

“…In order to provide knowledge in an attractive way, these platforms use entertaining content in educational settings; photos of daily life or sketches are presented on the monitor of a computer so as to encourage people with autism to distinguish objects based on their size, color, type, etc. Moreover, these kinds of interactive learning platforms motivate the children to correlate the objects with sounds and words [33]. Additionally, robotic systems are often included in the interactive environments.…”

Abstract-A brief review is presented in order to underlie the importance of serious games in preschool education. Their role is examined according to the educational perspectives that are explored in preschool settings including also their role in special preschool education. The domains of literacy, maths, cognitive & motor skills, creativity, communication and special education are investigated. Also, the beliefs of teachers about using games for teaching and learning are interviewed.

Abstract-Recent development in new technology has led many teachers, schools and other educators to use it with their students in their learning process. Especially, in the field of special preschool education the role of educational computer games seem significant. In this short review paper we give a brief overview of the most representative articles that concentrate on these games that support preschool children who face literature, math, cognitive, intellectual and physical difficulties. The role of computer educational games in children who are gifted or face developmental disorders (autism) is also explored.
