Abstract

Aiming at the core barriers in emotional expression and social interaction of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), the work aims to explore the innovative path of multisensory interaction design in compensating for the individualized deficiencies of traditional intervention methods, and systematically analyze its mechanism of action and practical value. Through a systematic literature review, the theoretical foundations, technical application models and practical effects of multisensory interaction design were integrated, and its cross-modal mechanism of action in improving emotion recognition, expression and regulation of children with ASD was analyzed. The study showed that multi-sensory interactive design could effectively activate the emotional cognitive processing system of children with ASD through the synergistic integration of visual, auditory, tactile and other multi-modal information, showing significant intervention effects in the areas of emotion recognition accuracy, expression fluency and regulation adaptability. Multi-sensory interaction design provides an interdisciplinary theoretical framework and practical paradigm for the construction of an inclusive education and rehabilitation system, and future research needs to further optimize the adaptability of the technology and the ecological application scenarios.
