Abstract

This research aimed to develop Padanan Pintar, an interactive mobile game specifically designed to help children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) manage sensory and emotional overload, which can often lead to behavioural issues such as tantrums. The development process was structured into three key phases: requirement gathering, which involved creating user personas and defining game requirements; application development, where the game was built using the Adalo mobile application platform; and evaluation, which followed a qualitative approach. In the early stages, interviews and observations provided insights into the sensory and emotional needs of children with ASD, guiding the design of the game. User testing conducted with autistic children demonstrated positive engagement, emotional and behavioural responses. The feedback indicated that Padanan Pintar effectively provides a calming influence, reduces sensory overstimulation, and fosters relaxation, making it a promising tool for managing ASD-related challenges. These outcomes highlight the initial finding of potential digital games elements in supporting emotional and sensory regulation for children with ASD.
