According to relevant reports,the rapid development of autism spectrum disorders,coupled with China's large population base,resulting in the number of patients far more than 10 million,this trend and form has aroused wide public concern.Compared with normal children,autistic children have some defects in social interaction behavior,language communication,interest behavior and sensory perception movement,and some obstacles in expression recognition.The existence of behavioral and cognitive defects leads to their lack of prosocial behavior,the most common is the lack of sharing,cooperation,help and other behaviors.Through research,medical experts have proved that early intervention is the main method of rehabilitation training for autistic children.It usually takes special toys" as the carrier to exert children's intervention in a gamified way,so that they can carry out rehabilitation training imperceptibly in games.There are various forms of special toys on the market,but there is almost no toy for the cultivation of prosocial behavior and the improvement of cognitive ability of autistic children.Through studying the early intervention measures,investigating the audience and users,this paper designs a special toy with cooperative characteristics and cognitive attributes,and carries out practice and analysis on this toy.This paper takes the early intervention measures as the guidance,carries on the related literature reading,extracts the game therapy and the structure therapy in the early intervention measures,and carries on the feasibility analysis to these two specific methods in the intervention measures.Among them,the block play therapy in the game therapy captures the characteristic that autistic children have the systematic cognitive style of fixed thinking and are easily attracted by systematic objects.The visual cue strategy in structural therapy captures the visual search advantage of autistic children.Practice has proved that both of these methods contribute to the improvement of prosocial behavior in autistic children.Therefore,based on the theoretical feasibility and the basis of user and market research,this study designed "special toys with enhanced prosocial behavior and cognitive ability for high-functioning autistic children aged 3-12 years.The design of this subject is two sets of toys.The development of toy games is a simple cooperative game based on improving prosocial behavior.Visual expression forms are based on the improvement of the cognitive ability of autistic children,with the expression recognition card as the carrier In order to further enhance the interaction between toys and autistic children,the principle of "opposites attract" is combined with magnets to realize the feedback between people and objects.With the help of the convalescent teacher,the toy was tested and evaluated in Shanghai xingyue child growth service center Using C-PEP scale as the carrier,the behavior of children using the toy over a period of time was scored and the data were processed.The results of data analysis show that the toy has a certain intervention effect on the prosocial behavior of autistic children.The intervention became more pronounced with time.In addition,based on the appearance and functional design of the toy,the satisfaction evaluation of kangfushi was carried out,and the evaluation results provided guidance for the later adaptive modification of the toy.
