Abstract

Early diagnosis and efficient interventions through educational methods may result in significant progress in early detection of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The platform presented in this paper represents an on-line and web application for children, in-particular children with ASD. We hope it will help improve their self-esteem, increase their communication and leadership skills. The core concepts of this platform are to help children get rid of impairment of concentration and improve their self-confidence. Our contribution is reflected in the discussion session where we show the strengths and weaknesses of the current learning process and the advantage of here presented application software solution. This paper presents a work in progress and is done in collaboration with the professionals working at an NGO “EDUS Education for All”, program devoted to evidence-based work with children with disabilities.
