Abstract

We describe the design of a game-based Web application aimed to support high-functioning individuals affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder in gaining skills that can help them to understand the concept of money and apply it in practical situations of life. In order to evaluate the effectiveness and usability of the games, a user study involving six medium/high-functioning ASD individuals in their teens and above was carried out. Preliminary results were encouraging and show the potential advantages of such a system for training end users on practical life skills.
