STS: Assistive Technology for neurological development

Social inclusion is an important element of well-being for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and/or Intellectual Disability (ID). Research has highlighted that social inclusion is facilitated through access to education and employment. Moreover, AT could help in early neurological development.

Assistive Technology for neurological development STS brings together academic scientists, researchers, Ph.D. students, and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of AT including VR-based Serious Games helping people with neurological problems like autism and/or intellectual disability. How could these ATs help in their neurological development? The target groups of these AT users are not only little children or teenagers but adult people too.

This STS also provides an interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations and trends. Moreover, to share concerns, practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the fields of AT and Serious Games. High-quality research contributions describing original and unpublished results of conceptual, constructive, empirical, experimental, or theoretical work in all areas of neurological development with AT and/ or Serious Games are cordially invited for presentation at the STS.
