Abstract

The article focuses on the use of augmented reality technology for visualizing educational information for children with ASD during teaching global reading and systems of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). It is noted that while learning, children with ASD display such features as quick fatigue, low concentration, constant distraction and difficulties in building communications. Based on the developed and tested corrective- developmental methods, an algorithm for forming a technology for teaching global reading to children with ASD was defined. The main stages of such training were determined: 1) creation of “safe” interaction for the child; 2) learning to select the inscriptions under the pictures (if the child pronounced the name correctly, he was offered to “revive” the picture with the help of augmented reality technology); 3) selection of words for objects (pictogram images), verbs (the cat begins to move – runs); 4) work with individual handouts: compose sentences and read aloud; 5) use of PECS alternative communication (cards have inscriptions) – children fix visual image of the word; 6) using a mnemonic table in augmented reality for reading. The stages of an empirical study of the effectiveness of teaching global reading to children with ASD using augmented reality technology were defined. An empirical research program was developed, which included problem-search, diagnostic, empirical-synthesizing and interpretive-summary stages. For each stage, the main achieved results were formulated and research methods were substantiated. The main technical possibilities of using augmented reality technology in teaching global reading to children with ASD were characterized. The results of diagnostics of children with ASD before and after the experiment were presented. Empirical data were compared and a conclusion was drawn about the effectiveness of the proposed methodology for teaching global reading to children with ASD.
