Abstract
As autism becomes a more widely-understood medical field, so do therapeutic implications. With the recent development of these methodologies in mind, “A SUNNY DAY” aids the therapeutic treatment of children with autism by providing simple and structured tasks while awarding children with praise in the form of an electronic iPad application. Every task in the game takes into consideration the emotional, social, and sensory disabilities autistic children struggle with and utilizes new teaching methods to remedy them. This paper includes the research prior to developing the application and the design and objectives of the application.
