Abstract

This paper discusses the issue regarding Non-verbal Autism Spectrum Disorder. It has been observed that this mental disorder is listed in major parts of the world including the US, UK, and India. To mitigate this type of disorder, a wide range of smartphones, computers, and artificial intelligence technologies have been used. This technology has helped the population cope with socialization and communication needs. Many applications have been developed to enhance the communication capabilities of non-verbal autistic children. This thesis project proposes the development of a platform that includes a web panel and an Android mobile application to assist non-verbal autistic children in communication, especially in Oman. Different interventions have been merged to improve the quality of life for people on the autism spectrum. The main problem identified in this case is that fragmented approaches are not suitable for autistic children. The augmented reality framework provides the capability to engage autistic children in creative play and self-reflection through interactive screen-based activities.
