School Simulator Autistic Preschool Training App

School Simulator Autistic Preschool Training App is an innovative educational technology solution designed to facilitate preschool training for children with autism spectrum disorder, providing comprehensive support for parents, teachers, and therapists in preparing autistic children for inclusive education environments. This specialized application, which earned the Bronze A' Design Award in the Education, Teaching Aid and Training Content Design category, encompasses four essential training categories: self-care, instruction understanding, interpersonal interaction, and daily school routine simulation. The app employs advanced speech recognition and facial expression recognition algorithms to deliver immediate, accurate feedback on children's responses during interactive training sessions. Developed through extensive research including desk studies, field observations, and focus group interviews, the platform integrates various training intensities to accommodate different developmental needs while maintaining engaging, concise lessons that enhance concentration and learning effectiveness. The interface design, optimized for iOS systems, features carefully selected colors and cartoon characters based on documented preferences of preschool autistic children, creating an inviting and effective learning environment. The application's distinctive dual functionality combines structured training modules with a community communication platform, enabling professionals and caregivers to share experiences and insights. Through its interactive practice sessions, the app encourages children to make choices, engage in conversations with animated characters, and develop appropriate facial expressions based on contextual cues, while automatically tracking progress and maintaining detailed training histories with accuracy records for ongoing assessment and improvement.
