How an animated fish helps kids with autism

Abstract
BYU education researchers have found that children with autism love learning with the help of live animated characters. In fact, the BYU study found that children learned more by talking to an animated fish avatar named Marla than they learned by talking to another person. BYU student Bruna Goncalves, who graduates from BYU this week, has been a fundamental part of the autism research project. Goncalves was inspired to pursue special education out of love for her older sister, Barbara, who has cerebral palsy.
