| Summary: | Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) are usually diagnose by the disturbances in the following domains; social relatedness, communication/play, and restricted interests and activities. As a result, interacting and communicating with children with ASDs are very intricate because of their lack of verbal and nonverbal communication skills. Understanding the needs of the children are also a very challenging task because of their difficulty in expressing their needs verbally, i.e. using gestures or pointing instead of words. To facilitate their social interaction, special effort needs to be made by parents and caregivers. Hence, Educational App for children with ASDs is developed to assist them. The application helps children with ASDs to improve their social life in interacting and communicating with others while helping their parents and caregivers to understand what the children really needs. At the same time, the application can be easily customized (i.e. adding activities) as the needs arise. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
