ABSTRACT
Early identification and diagnosis of autism is the key to minimize its negative effects and get the autistic children on the right path. This paper analyzed autism diagnostic tool using serious games technique namely Vi-Per Games. It is a tool for special education teachers to diagnose visual perception problems among autistic students. The development of the game is based on ADDIE model. The results show that the use of Vi-Per Games successfully assist and facilitate teachers when making a diagnosis of visual perception problems in autistic students, compared with conventional methods of diagnosis. Diagnosing visual perception problems using serious games gives teachers and students enjoyable experiences in a way that no other medium can offer.
