About 50 per cent of people diagnosed with autism have dificulties in
developing any kind of functional language. This paper presents the
development and evaluation of a multi-user collaborative game for mobile
tangible interfaces. The game was designed based on requirements of a
group of children with autism, in order to stimulate communication through
collaborative strategies. The game was designed for interaction by pairs of
users. Each user has a mobile tangible interface to share game resources
and a TV as a shared space. The game was evaluated following research
aspects related to the interest of the users on the technology, the perception
of each user s interlocutor and communication intentions observed between
the users to collaborate with each other. Tests were carried out for 8 weeks
with 4 children with autism. The results indicate that both the environment
provided by the technology used as well as the strategies of the game have
stimulated the users communication through this shared space.
