Abstract :
Our research aims to aid children with Asperger Syndrome in communication by information technology. We proposed an interactive prototype to assist children to communicate with people at school, home or care centre. Our main concern is to have the design that is affordable and portable. Our prototype emphasizes on localization of contents, it allows each user to create and import the self related and familiar images to his profile. Our communication assistant could also assist adults who have speech disability after stroke or other traumatic brain injury.
