Abstract

The objective of this research is to develop an augmented reality mobile application for learning mathematics and reading for children between 5 and 7 years of age who suffer from autism spectrum disorders. An own methodology for the development of the mobile application is presented and as results the finished mobile application is shown, which was evaluated by the tutors of the autistic children. 90% of the tutors affirmed that augmented reality facilitated educational understanding, 80% assured that learning through augmented reality applications is more attractive for children and finally 90% affirmed that they would recommend the use of the mobile application to tutors with similar situations.
