Popis: Currently, there is a growth in the diagnostic of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in children. This type of neurocognitive disorder prevents normal development from an early age. In addition, most people suffering from ASD have a Sensorial Processing Disorder (SPD) associated. This makes them perceive objects and environment in a different way and sometimes causes changes in behaviour, causing a crisis at certain times. It is proposed to monitor different physical parameters of the environment and the user to detect the causes that yield these changes in behaviour. For this, the paper shows the development of a first prototype that integrates some of those environmental parameters selected to measure and it is accompanied by a software for the management of the device. Finally, the correct operation of the prototype is validated.
