ABSTRACT
Public places may trigger disruptive behaviour in children with autism, embarrassing their parents and caretakers. This is because usually these places challenge the child to Interact with their peers and other people while experiencing sensory overload (mixed noises, laughs, smells, music). This paper brings an attempt to improve autistic children's ability to interact appropriately in Play Park, practicing some of the most experienced challenges with a physical model.
