Abstract
Background and purpose: The present study was conducted with the aim of systematically reviewing the
effectiveness of augmented reality-based interventions in improving the social skills of children with autism
spectrum disorder.
Method: The method of the present study was a systematic review. Articles published from 2010 to 2023 in
ProQuest, Science-Direct, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Springer databases with the keywords of augmented
reality technology, interventions based on augmented reality technology (with and without using social stories,
video modeling, PES and game-based), educational program based on augmented reality technology,
augmented reality glasses, children with autism spectrum disorder (high functioning, low functioning), children
with Asperger's disorder and Social skills (verbal or non-verbal) were investigated. At first, 88 articles were
examined, from which 17 articles were extracted that were in accordance with the purpose of the research and
the criteria of the research. In the present study, by reviewing the published research on the effectiveness of
augmented reality-based interventions in improving the social skills of children with autism spectrum disorder,
we sought to find answers to 7 basic questions.
Findings: The investigations showed that studies with single-subject designs were the most frequent among
all types of studies; Most studies had no gender restrictions; The intervention based on augmented reality
technology has been carried out in different age groups between 6 and 16 years old. The use of mobile phones
was the most frequent in the technology used for augmented reality-based intervention; Among the reviewed
studies, 1 study on the effect of skeletal tracking system using augmented reality (6%), 3 studies on the effect
of using augmented reality based on smart glasses (17%), 2 studies on the effect of using augmented reality
based on pecs (11 percent), 1 study on the effect of face modeling based on augmented reality (6 percent) and
1 study on the simultaneous use of story books and video modeling based on augmented reality (6 percent) in
improving the social skills of children with have discussed autism spectrum disorder and 9 studies (53%) have
examined the effectiveness of using augmented reality without auxiliary tools in increasing the social skills of
these children; The method of presenting the intervention based on augmented reality in an individual way was
the most frequent among all types of studies, and all the reviewed studies, that is, 17 studies (100%) show the
positive and significant effectiveness of the intervention based on augmented reality in improving social skills.
and the components of social skills of people with autism spectrum disorder.
Conclusion: Based on the findings, it is necessary to develop and design technology-based interventions to
improve social, cognitive, emotional and communication skills for children with autism spectrum disorder.
