Abstract

The rising prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has prompted a continual search for innovative interventions to enhance the lives of individuals across the spectrum. In this systematic literature review, we embark on a comprehensive exploration of multimodal technologies in ASD Interventions. ASD, characterized by challenges in social communication, repetitive behaviours, and sensory sensitivities, necessitates versatile therapeutic strategies. Recent advances in technology have ushered in a new era of possibilities in the realm of ASD interventions. Multimodal technologies, which encompass a wide spectrum of digital platforms, software applications, wearable devices, and virtual reality, offer unprecedented opportunities to engage, educate, and empower individuals with ASD. This systematic review critically evaluates the multifaceted landscape of technological interventions within the context of ASD. Subsections dedicated to screening and diagnosis, communication, social skills, emotional regulation, and sensory integration provide a comprehensive overview of the diverse applications of multimodal technologies. The review synthesizes findings from a range of studies, including randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental designs, and case studies, to elucidate the effectiveness, limitations, and prospects of these interventions. Furthermore, this review highlights the ethical considerations, accessibility challenges, and the need for continued research and standardization in the field. By examining the evolving role of technology in enhancing the lives of individuals with ASD, this systematic review offers valuable insights for researchers, clinicians, educators, and policymakers. It underscores the potential of multimodal technologies to revolutionize ASD interventions, making them more personalized, engaging, and effective, ultimately fostering improved outcomes and quality of life for individuals on the autism spectrum.
