ABSTRACT
In this paper, we propose a set of collaborative strategies in a collaborative game for multitouch tabletop in order to encourage social interaction between people with severe autism. We evaluated the collaborative strategies with a group of youth with high impairment autism in social interaction. The results suggest that collaborative strategies and the multitouch game encouraged the youth to perform different verbal and gestural social interaction expressions with their partners to cooperate and achieve the game goal. These collaborative strategies could be used in other collaborative applications for people with autism.

Evaluation of tablet apps to encourage social interaction in children with autism spectrum disorders
CHI '13: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThe increasing rates of diagnosis for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) have brought unprecedented attention to these conditions. Interventions during childhood can increase the likelihood of independent living later in life, but most adults with ASDs ...
