Research background

Our Research Approach

At Autism Games, we believe that meaningful, evidence-based design begins with research.

Throughout every stage of our game development process, we draw on credible sources, collaborate with experts, and validate our work through real-world testing.

By combining clinical insights with user feedback, we ensure our tools are both engaging and effective for autistic children and their support networks

Built on Research, Backed by Experts

Guided by DSM-5

This framework helps us identify key social, emotional, and behavioural challenges faced by children with level 2 and 3 autism spectrum disorder (ASD)

Clinical Collaboration

Our games are shaped through collaboration with clinical experts, educators, parents, and autistic children.

Expert Inputs

Key development partnerships include the National eTherapy Centre (NeTC) and Bulleen Heights School, to ensures our content user-informed.

Shaped by Stories

The study included observations of gameplay in classroom and home settings, gathering both qualitative and quantitative feedback from educators, therapists, and families.

Inclusive User Testing

We involve autistic children, their families, and educators in hands-on testing to ensure our games are accessible, relevant, and truly supportive in real-life contexts.
