- Children with autism may have an easier time reading facial expressions and navigating social interactions when they use Google Glass paired with a smartphone app, a small experiment suggests.
The experiment included 71 children, ages 6 to 12, who were receiving a standard treatment for autism known as applied behavioral analysis therapy. This type of therapy typically involves using structured exercises like flash cards depicting faces to help kids learn to recognize different emotions. After six weeks of using Superpower Glass in 20-minute sessions four times a week, kids who received this digital support scored better on tests of socialization, communication and behavior than the control group of 31 kids who received only standard care for autism.
Superpower Glass is designed to tackle a common struggle for kids with autism - how to understand social cues and use past experiences to learn how to respond in various situations. “Emojis are much simpler, static stimuli,” Dawson, who wasn’t involved in the study, said by email. “It makes sense that emojis would be easier for a person with autism to understand.”
