Popis
Shrnutí:Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex condition characterized by a wide range of symptoms and challenges. Children with autism often experience difficulties in social interaction, and communication, and may exhibit repetitive behaviors. Many also struggle with understanding emotions and recognizing shapes, which can impact their daily lives and learning experiences. To address these challenges and enhance their skills, a novel toy has been developed based on a microcontroller system. This innovative toy utilizes the ATmega328P microcontroller, a popular open-source platform known for its versatility and accessibility. The toy is programmed using C language within the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE), providing a user-friendly and customizable platform for development. The toy offers a variety of interactive tasks and activities designed to engage and stimulate children with autism. For example, it can generate arithmetic problems for the child to solve, helping to improve their mathematical skills and cognitive abilities. Additionally, the toy includes features that allow children to identify geometric shapes, supporting their learning. By providing a structured and predictable environment, the toy helps alleviate anxiety and sensory overload often experienced by children with autism. The interactive nature of the toy encourages social interaction and communication, promoting meaningful connections with peers and caregivers.
