The Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a disorder of the brain development,which is often characterized by difficulties in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors. The kids with ASD, as most of the kids nowadays, have a particular affinity for the Information and Communications Technologies (ICT). On the following paper we will develop a project with the main goal of researching about the use of Natural Human Interfaces (NUI) as a complement for the educational, social and cognitive activities on kids with ASD.
