Abstract
To improve the usability of teaching aids for children with autism, this paper study the key features of designing teaching aids aiming for training hand-eye coordination of children with autism. The corresponding design strategy is derived base on the principle of inclusive design and two design proposals are proposed. And following the rationality and effectiveness evaluation of those design schemes, which including the comparison to existing teaching aids. The analysis results show that the design scheme with newer training methods、sensory stimulation and gamification design gave a better performance.
