Abstract: Apart from difficulties with social communication, children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) tend to have limited interest in academic activities. The challenges faced by the educators of these students are abundant, including selecting motivating items or activities that can prompt them to complete a task. In addition to this challenge, the educators also face the issue of the lack of coordination between the teachers, therapists, and parents. This issue is imperative as significant learning opportunities are lost for lack of communication. To address these two issues, we have created a distributed system consisting of a mobile application that tracks the academic objectives and behavioural progress of the students which allows for a centralized place of information for easier coordination between educators, as well as suggesting effective motivators using a Deep Neural Network (DNN), specifically a Deep Q Network, to help autistic students regain their focus in the class.
