Technologies to help children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

The Dentista Amigo application was developed by researchers in the field of health and technology to help children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, parents and professionals in the management and care of oral health.

Digital technologies are used as auxiliary devices to facilitate the positive behavior of children with ASD in oral hygiene activities.

You will be able to know the social history of a child in a dental environment and follow the main instruments used by the dentist. The application also features interactive games, such as brushing teeth, type of toothbrush and toothpaste.

The application uses theoretical bases of social stories, interactive games and assistive technology.
