Persons with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and/or intellectual disability (ID) have difficulties in planning, organising and coping with change, which impedes the learning of daily living skills (DLSs), social participation and self-management across different environmental settings. Assistive technologies (ATs) is a broad term encompassing devices and services designed to support individuals with disabilities, and if used in a self-controlled manner, they may contribute inclusion in all domains of participation. This comprehensive literature review aims to critically assess and unify existing research that investigates the use of assistive technology within the practical domain for individuals with ASD and/or ID. The 18 relevant studies included in this review highlighted the benefits of AT for social participation and independence in daily activities of individuals with ASD and/or ID. Professionals working with this target group should be knowledgeable of the speedy progress of AT products and the potential of persons with ASD and/or ID to use mainstream devices to meet their individual needs. This awareness provides an opportunity to advocate for the universal benefits of AT for everyone. Technologies such as virtual reality, mobile applications and interactive software have been shown to improve DLSs, communication and social interaction. These tools offer engaging, user-friendly platforms that address the specific needs of these individuals, enhancing their learning and independence.
患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）和/或智力障碍（ID）的人在规划、组织和应对变化方面存在困难，这阻碍了他们在不同环境中学习日常生活技能（DLS）、参与社交和进行自我管理。辅助技术（AT）是一个广义术语，涵盖旨在支持残疾人的设备和服务，如果以自我控制的方式使用，它们可能有助于在所有参与领域实现融合。这篇全面的文献综述旨在批判性地评估和整合现有研究，这些研究调查了辅助技术在ASD和/或ID患者实际生活中的应用。本综述纳入的18项相关研究强调了辅助技术对ASD和/或ID患者社交参与和日常活动独立性的益处。与该目标群体合作的专业人员应了解辅助技术产品的快速发展，以及ASD和/或ID患者使用主流设备满足其个人需求的潜力。这种认识为倡导辅助技术对每个人的普遍益处提供了机会。虚拟现实、移动应用和交互式软件等技术已被证明可以改善日常生活技能、沟通和社交互动。这些工具提供了引人入胜、用户友好的平台，满足了这些个体的特定需求，增强了他们的学习能力和独立性。
