A researcher from the Department of Information and Communication Technologies (DTIC) at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona has developed a videogame eliciting "full-body interaction" designed to facilitate social interaction for autistic children.
For this study, published online in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 15 children aged from four to six years diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders participated in four sessions playing "Pico's Adventure," as well as with traditional toys (balls, dolls, carriages, etc.).
