Comparisons of Self-Determination Among Students With Autism, Intellectual Disability, and Learning Disabilities: A Multivariate Analysis (2017, background): “Bernard-Opitz, Sriram, and Nakhoda-Sapuan (2001) developed a computer program to assist students with ASD to develop social problem-solving skills.”
Using Computer-Presented Social Stories and Video Models to Increase the Social Communication Skills of Children With High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders (2008, background): “Although the use of technology for the treatment of children with ASD is a growing field of research, only a few studies have investigated the use of computers to implement multimedia social skill interventions (e.g., Bernard-Opitz et al., 2001; Swettenham, 1996).”
Innovative technology-based interventions for autism spectrum disorders: A meta-analysis (2014, background): “Studies have suggested several reasons for the special interest that people with ASD appear to have in computerized learning (Bernard-Opitz et al., 2001; Moore and Calvert, 2000) and have identified the advantages that computers provide with respect to the core deficits of ASD.”
Use of Computer-Assisted Technologies (CAT) to Enhance Social, Communicative, and Language Development in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (2012, background): “Additionally, it has been suggested that inappropriate behaviors such as tantrums and self-injurious behaviors occur quite commonly as a consequence of the individual’s lack of social-communicative understanding (Bernard-Opitz et al. 2001; Ploog 2010b).”
Systemizing empathy: Teaching adults with Asperger syndrome or high-functioning autism to recognize complex emotions using interactive multimedia (2006, background): “…found that the use of computers can help individuals with autism pass false belief tasks ~Swettenham, 1996!, recognize basic emotions from cartoons and still photographs ~Bolte et al., 2002; Silver & Oakes, 2001!, and solve problems in illustrated social situations ~Bernard-Opitz et al., 2001!.”
Virtual Reality Social Cognition Training for children with high functioning autism (2016, background): “Several studies have examined the feasibility and effectiveness of VR as a treatment option for individuals with ASD (Bernard-Opitz et al., 2001; Mitchell, Parsons, & Leonard, 2007; Ozonoff & Miller, 1985; Parsons, Mitchell, & Leonard, 2004).”
