Enhancing Emotional Intelligence among children with ASD with mobile applications, virtual games, and virtual reality

ABSTRACT: This literature review sought to determine if mobile applications, virtual reality, and games can enhance emotional intelligence among the pediatric population diagnosed with ASD. A total of five studies were analyzed—each using a specific technological modality that included mobile applications, virtual games, or virtual reality. Based on the current literature, the author could not determine a definitive conclusion. Therefore, the results are inconclusive. However, this demonstrates the need for more research to be generated in standardizing better and incorporating technology in treating children with ASD.
