Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects children s neurodevelopment, impairing the ability for social interaction, communication and generating repetitive behavior. The treatment is performed according to specific methods, to practice social interactions, emotions and basic activities of daily living. Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are collaborating as a complement to existing methods practiced by psychologists/therapists. Thus, this research seeks, through literature review, to find out what are the gaps in this theme and to know the applications of AR and VR concerning the treatment of children with ASD at national and international levels. The method chosen was the systematic literature review (SLR) and the narrative literature review. The database used was Scopus, where 39 articles were obtained, revealing a gap due to the low number of results, and finally, after using the filters, 19 articles were analyzed. The result shows great potential for using the technologies mentioned in support of the allowed therapeutic methods, allowing the treatment to evolve more efficiently.

This study examined the effect of a 10-week integrated intervention on communication and repetitive behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Eighteen participants (age 4-7 years) diagnosed with ASD were assigned to the intervention group (nine participants) or the passive control group. Changes in communication and repetitive behavior were assessed by the Chinese PsychoEducational Profile, 3rd edition (CPEP-3). After the intervention, group-by-time interaction effects on the improvement of characteristic motor behavior were observed (ղ2p=.689, p=.0001, 90% CI=.379 to .795). Post-hoc analyses showed that such improvement was better in the intervention group (ղ2=.889, p=.0004, 90% CI=.623 to .930) than the control group (ղ2=.498, p=.043, 90% CI=.050 to .693). On the other hand, a main effect of time was observed on the improvement of communication across both groups. Our findings suggest that this integrated intervention may provide a beneficial influence on repetitive behavior in children with ASD.
