Gamification in autism
The purpose of this review is to understand the research that has been done on how gamification can
improve outcomes for individuals with autism. This review will be of particular interest to
professionals who work with autistic clients, special educators, and families of children with autism.
Readers will be able to understand the way that certain autism-friendly games are played, and the
effect that certain games have had on improving specific skills in autistic samples. This will be
particularly useful for those who are looking to introduce games for the purpose of improving a
specific skill, or for those interested in introducing gaming more generally to autistic people and would
like guidance on strategies for teaching gameplay skills.
