Protocol design to assess the attention of children with Autism Spectrum disorder (ASD)

Abstract

A correct assessment of the academic level of students with attention deficits is essential for any teacher and parent who is interested in integrating the student into a conventional education school. Centros de Atención Multiple (CAM) that care children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) do not always have the right way to evaluate a student with these characteristics. This work presents the design of a protocol for evaluating students presenting ASD by using simultaneously a mechanical pedaling system as an aid element to focus the student's attention on assigned tasks.
