14.1.3 Strategies for Use of IoT and Media-Based Tools
Children with ASD are confronting a few difficulties that IoT framework can address as
discussed by Cafiero (2008). Various general characteristics include:
• The problem with communication—The key characteristics of life characterizing attitudes, it is the major problem in ASD. IoT offers specialized devices in the area of
perusing, composing, and talking.
• A problem with the complex sign—IoT offers the capacity for making a scope of
images, from single image to different and more mixed images.
• The problem with emotional and social learning—Full of feeling and social learning
happens when one is involved with others. Innovation can go about as a support
and an extension between correspondence accomplices.
According to Woodcock and Woolner (2007), to support the engagement of kids with
ASDs using IoT technology, it is essential to:
1. Comprehend the prerequisites of autistic children and their educators and care
takers
2. Develop a versatile, intuitive IoT environment that will support the desire of autistic children
3. Design an IoT framework of broadly useful philosophy empowering such prerequisites to be captured and implemented in programming outline
4. Contribute to the development of user-centered design and learning ergonomics
Assistive technologies are growing at a great extent, from normal innovation to IoT
implementation in this present digital stage. It is characterized by Michel (2004) as “a part
of an object, or framework, whether procured commercially off the rack, changed, and that
is utilized to increment, or enhances the functional abilities of children with disabilities.”
Today many companies are developing different assistive solutions to help autistic children. These IoT-based assistive solutions are classified (McClanahan and Krantz 2010) as
a group of “low,” “mid,” and “high” technology. It is very difficult to present here every
accessible item. However, the following have been discussed for the overview of the different development of helpful assistive technologies that are used to support the requirement
of autistic children.
14.1.3.1 Low Technology
Low-tech dealings can be utilized as a part of various approaches to giving the visual
data for the child. Normally autistic children are comfortable to handle visual data rather
than sound-related data. Particularly pictorial data has been appeared to be very useful.
Visual data enormously expands the child’s perception of what is anticipated from him or
her and is significantly more viable than sound-related data. Henceforth, most low-tech
approaches have a cardboard-based or basic paper form. Visual bearings pick up, keep
up, and refocus a child’s consideration and attention. Visual information is not equipped
with any electronic or battery-operated systems. As discussed by Pierce and Schreibman
(1994), basically visual data is of low cost and simple to utilize. It also helps children
to enhance their independent behaviors. There are many visual information kiosks
