Abstract

Current assistive technologies can improve the quality of life of people who have been diagnosed with different forms of Social Communications Disorders (SCD). In this paper we describe the way in which we have approached an assistive system for improving SCD, based on human-avatar interaction. Since the final development is in progress, this paper contributes with a general taxonomy that classifies the different kinds of interaction between humans and avatars, including the relationship among them and their communication skills. These skills are typically training to treat SCD.
