Exploring the Effectiveness of Parental Assistance Versus Technological Assistance in Improving Emotional Intelligence and Communication in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Ishika Korla

ABSTRACT

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) accounts for a broad scope of disorders that affect social, communicative, and language skills, which all range in severity depending on the individual. Low levels of emotional intelligence in children with ASD contribute to the primary deficiencies in communication and relationships that define the disorder. Studies have shown growing evidence for interventions using traditional reading approaches with parental assistance and technological interventions as effective ways to combat shortcomings in emotional intelligence and communication in children with ASD. Taking into account the traditional way of reading with parental assistance, parents can take steps to learn various strategies to produce positive results in their child's linguistic development and engagement. On the other hand, implementing novel technological interventions such as robots, applications, and serious games can improve a child’s social skills, communication skills, and empathy.
