Abstract

The term Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has been increasingly studied by researchers and disseminated by scientific media. People with ASD exhibit peculiar social characteristics that often interferes in their communication with other people. Therefore the need to offer new possibilities to pursue better communication for these people trough assistive technologies. The present article aims to identify what national and international scientific productions, published between 2013 and 2018 have revealed about the use of augmented reality and alternative communication of people with ASD. The results shows that assistive technology contributes to increase or expand functional abilities of people with disabilities and therefore promotes independent life and inclusion. Otherwise it is observed that unknowing the disorder and lacking specified strategy for it may cause small impact upon the learning process of ASD population.
