Abstract
This project is intended to design and provide an educational software to help autistic students to learn computer skills and daily life skills. It also monitors the progress of the student and maintains it in a database. It also provides an interface for the teacher to modify the material used. It is fundamentally an e-learning software for students with autism designed in collaboration with the Dubai Autism Centre. There are specific modules in the project which emphasizes on three-dimensional graphics and high user interactivity.
