Abstract
The causes and treatments of autism are still a mystery to current research, but existing treatments have been tested and proven to be more effective. This article is a study of children with autism. By investigating the symptoms of autism and combining the current mainstream international treatment method ABA therapy, the toy design is innovated by combining the toys that are essential to every child's childhood with the treatment method, hope that the process of playing with toys can improve the core symptoms of autism. The article uses questionnaires, field research, face-to-face interviews and model testing to collate and summarise the data to demonstrate the feasibility of the design. After analysis, the author has designed a toy to help treat autistic children, while the toy design helps to alleviate the symptoms of autistic children to a certain extent, and provides some ideas for future therapeutic equipment design for autistic children.
