ABSTRACT
During the past two years, several announcements that are possibly perceived as scary were made about the COVID-19 pandemic and the safety regulations people should follow. Those announcements affected everyone, especially children with Autism Spectrum Disorder since they find difficulties coping with the changes caused by the pandemic. Helping them to adapt during those extraordinary circumstances is even more demanding for their families and caregivers. Hence, as a solution, we designed, developed, and evaluated a serious game that promotes healthy behaviors that are most important during the pandemic for them. The game design follows the guidelines in literature for designing a User Interface suitable for children with ASD. Our preliminary experimental study shows that the presented game is engaging for children with ASD. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
