Abstract
We describe a first prototype of a system for storytelling for high functioning children with autism. The system, based on the Story-Table developed by IRST-itc, is aimed at supporting a group of children in the activity of storytelling. The system is based on a unique multi-user touchable device (the MERL Diamond Touch) designed with the purpose of enforcing collaboration between users. The instructions were simplified in order to allow children with communication disabilities to learn and operate the story table. First pilot results are very encouraging. The children were enthusiastic about communicating through the ST and appeared to be able to learn to operate it with little difficulty. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
