The plan is to bring these changes through the use of rules based algorithm as an approach to decide which level difficulty of the system should go according to the autism student performance based on the percentage of score. By applying this approach, the system will be able to monitor and analyze the performance of intelligent of autism student's capabilities. The system is capable to control the particular level of the autism students should play. It is capable to replace the teacher's responsibilities in terms of monitoring the student's progress and performance. Testing was conducted in Autism Intervention Programme of The National Autism Society of Malaysia (NASOM) at Malacca branch. Results and findings from this testing support the idea that educational software may be one of an effective and practical tool for teaching academic skills to autism children. Having programssuch asEduTism can improve effectiveness and efficiency of data collection tracking and reporting for the teachers and parents. © 2011 Springer-Verlag. |

This study examines the effect of Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) towards improving attention among Autistic children. Method. A single case study using ABA design was used to measure duration of attention and errors omitted using Mesulam Continuous Performance Test (CPT) across three phases among 4 participants. Task Behavior/ Completion section in School Function Assessment (SFA) was given to teachers to rate student performance before and after intervention phase. Results. Results from this study showed that AAT did not improve attention and task behavior among 4 participants. However there is noted slight increase in attention among participants during the intervention phase. All participants also had slight decrease in attention during withdrawal phase. Decreases in numbers of errors omitted in CPM were noted in all participants during intervention phase. Conversely, all participants except participant 4 had increase in numbers of errors omitted during withdrawal phase. Result from Task behavior also showed no improvement. Conclusions. The findings from this study demonstrate that AAT did not improve attention and task behavior among Autistic children. However, the findings suggest that AAT can be one of treatment approach among Autistics children. Further study with longer timelines is needed to demonstrate a much better outcome as well as to ensure that the impact of the interventions really give an effect to the sample. © 2011 IEEE.}, note = {cited By 0}, keywords = {Animals, Autism, Autistic Children, Behavioral Research, Children with Autism, Errors, Performance Tests, Sensory Integration, Student Performance, Students, Three Phasis}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {conference} } Objective.
