Abstract
SCALA system is an effort to integrate Internet of Things (IoT) and Social Computing to provide an alternative communication system to improve literacy of people with autism. After introducing SCALA, this work presents a review on the state of the art about the application of IoT technologies to Autism, carried out in five international scientific databases. Based on this study, it is proposed a model for integrating SCALA to IoT with a focus on questions about the literacy process for children with autism. SCALA currently operates on web, desktop and tablet platforms. The proposed technological integration with IoT aims to bring additional functionalities for SCALA, which will enable mediation with its subjects by means of physical objects. Results can be of use for developers of similar systems.
