Title
HygieneHelper: promoting awareness and teaching life skills to youth with autism spectrum disorder
Abstract
In this paper, we describe a mobile system to support youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) learn about and track healthy hygiene behaviors, HygieneHelper. This mobile application was developed as the result of a multi-year action research project with six school districts and two county agencies all focused on using mobile technologies to help teens and young adults develop skills for independent living and employment. HygieneHelper includes multi-media learning modules, an interactive customizable interface for tracking and monitoring progress on hygiene routines, and prompting and feedback from a virtual coach.
