  • Abstract
    This paper depicts the prominence of cultural on the adoption of assistive technology, in terms of design, which are particularly anticipated for autism treatment. The researchers believe that cultural aspect should be considered in designing assistive technology in treating autistic individual. It is necessary to assess cultural differences critically so that assistive technology can be accepted extensively. Occasional review on cultural changes is also needed in countries with cultural diversity to ensure that the technological growth is compatible with the current recognition. This paper reviews on disability treatment using assistive technology and proposes an extension for the existing cultural model for assistive technology design.
