A Survey of Available Games for Autistic Children and Others

During your study of the state of the art games for autistic children, you might want to complete a few tasks:

1. Autistic Games Apps: Could you come up a detailed survey of all the available games, and summarize your results in a table? You can reference to the survey done by Group 8 & 9 as an example. The table should include columns such as game names, categories, platforms, descriptions, companies, prices, websites, your evaluations, etc.
2. Non-Computer Autistic Games: Could you come up a survey of all the available non-computer games, and summarize your results in a table? The table should include columns such as game names, categories, descriptions, companies, prices, what can you do better using computer, etc.
3. General-Purpose Games: I am also curious about info about general purpose games. Is there any statistics about what are the favorite general purpose games that autistic children played? If yes, are they beneficial to them according to the categories: “coping with change”, “matching emotions”, “finding a route”, and “making eye contact”. You can make a table to summarize your results. You may learn important lessons from those apps.
4. Customer Input/Feedback: In addition, could you search for some nearby organization serving autistic children? Can you visit them to get some insight? You might want to interview special education teachers in our school who had previous experiences in this area. Once you have finish the apps, what are the channels to distribute the apps to autistic children and evaluate their effectiveness?

These surveys and the input/feedback of autistic children and educators will form the foundation of your apps. We will discuss your results after the break.
