Abstract

Autism is one of the fastest growing disorders that had been happening around the world. The increasing rate of occurrence in Malaysia which is estimated to occur in 1 of every 625 children had since become a great concern to the community. Due to insufficient resources to cater for the autism education services, ineffectiveness of teaching strategy involved and inadequate good positive behavioural support, this project is initiated as a means of solution to aid in the situation. This project aims to design and develop a mobile games application featuring personalisation avatar to foster autism children‟s positive behaviour in social practices aspect. The development of the project will be carried out based on Agile methodology. The methodology consists of five phases which are concept development, design, implementation, testing and deployment. This project has found three themes in relation to the use of personalisation avatar feature from the usability testing. They are i) Personalised avatar can triggers children with ASD‟s interest, ii) Personalised avatar can promotes emotions and feelings in children with ASD and iii) Avatar can facilitates social interaction among children with ASD. Thus, the mobile game developed can support children with ASD especially to facilitate their positive behavioural skills.
