Abstract
In this paper we present the initial stages of a project entitled Minority
Language Applications (Mi.L.A) which aims to facilitate material for children with
autism in a multilingual setting using interactive multimedia that increase both the
awareness as well as the access to information for patients who need it. Pilot testing
the applications with three children within the autism spectrum shows favorable
initial results. The children would interact with the applications successfully and
gain from the sessions in terms of communication skills as well as improved verbal
and visual cues.
