Abstract: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), as a developmental disorder, causes difficulties in social interaction, communication, sharing emotions, making their education and daily life complicated. We aim to help these children and their parents to reduce cognitive impairment, maximize independence and improve their quality of life and their well-being. Technology-based approaches, such as augmented reality (AR), are increasingly used in safety education of these children. Our study, which was conducted in Tunisia, developed an AR application by using virtual objects to teach hazard recognition and avoidance to make autistic children more conscious of the dangers in their environment.
