Abstract
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have difficulties to understand and label emotions; accordingly, they cannot communicate their emotions and recognize the emotions of others. Since children with autism have difficulty to recognize facial expressions, the tone of the voice, or the body language, they cannot integrate in social situations. These characteristics can tell a lot about the emotions of another person. That why developing emotional and social competences can help children with autism to recognize the feelings of others and improve the forming of relationship for enhancing the social interactions.
This paper proposes a new multi agent architecture of an intelligent tutoring system based on affective computing for helping autistic children to learn the emotional language through a collection of games respecting the KASP methodology for designing serious learning games.
