Abstract

The diversity of resources that can be accessed quickly and easily online opens a world of possibilities for help and support to families of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In turn, Information and Communication Technologies are presented as a set of motivating tools for people with this condition and easy to integrate into therapy and day-to-day activities. This work aims to offer families, web platforms rich in resources focused on the development of communication and language, these being one of the main limitations of people with ASD. Families are the main axis in the full development of the child, so that an active collaboration from an early age will favor the child's progress and with it, their quality of life. In this sense, the stimulation of communication skills from birth will be crucial for their development and social interaction. In this way, ten web platforms are offered whose main objective is to offer ideas, resources, materials, and experiences as a result of daily work with people with ASD, mainly aimed at promoting communicative and linguistic skills.
