A Serious Game to Learn and Enhance Emotional Skills for Children: a pilot study

Many individuals, including children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), have difficulties in understanding emotional information and creating emotional facial expressions. These problems affect their communication and social skills. In this paper, we introduced a serious game developed for children with ASD to improve their emotional and communication skills, by practicing emotion recognition, emotion expression, and emotion regulation. In order to verify adaptability, effectiveness, and acceptabilitiy of the game, it was presented to a few children and their feedback was recorded and considered for further improving the game.
