University of Valencia

The Autism and Learning Difficulties Group of the University of Valencia works on the research and development of new technologies in order to improve the quality of life of people with autism and learning difficulties. The Azahar project has been developed by a team of experts in IT engineering, education, fine art, telecommunications engineering and industrial design, who have contributed with their efforts and experience in the creation of tools which respond to the needs of those with ASD.

Direct contact with people with autism is one of the keys to the success of the group, and the effectiveness of the applications it develops. People with autism have been attending the University facilities where they have participated, and continue to participate in the different research activities. Furthermore, the group members pay regular visits to centers and services where they complete a range of investigations and where they find their main source of learning and knowledge about autism.
