Abstract: Social skills can be taught using a customized interactive model. As part of this model, an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) individual and an influencer are involved in creating customized content that will later be presented to the individual as part of an interactive game or other learning environment. This customized content includes both visual and audio content of the individual and the influencer and other graphical content selected and/or customized by the individual. One problem faced when teaching individuals is that they do not instantaneously connect noises with sources or relate words they hear with the speaker. By involving the individual in the creation of the customized content, the likelihood that the individual will make such connections can be increased since the individual is more likely to recognize content that he or she created in conjunction with an influencer.
