A Study on the Design of an Emotional Interaction Device for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Based on Focused Attention Mindfulness

In order to effectively alleviate the emotional stress of children with ASD in their daily lives, this study took the positive thinking exercise (FAM) and combined it with mandala coloring to create a recreational interactive device for children with ASD, as well as providing a new way of thinking about non-static FAM exercises. In this study, children's emotional changes were assessed during traditional mandala coloring exercises and interactive device intervention conditioning through group testing and interviews with healthcare professionals. The results indicated that the group moderated with the interactive device was more likely to stimulate children's interest and generate positive emotions.
