Abstract. Children with ASD need personalized therapy in order to overcome social and emotional difficulties that they experience in their daily routine. They have hugely varied, heterogeneous needs, and should therefore be well served by services truly tailored to an individual, with all of his/her personal needs and preferences. As they learn better visually, visual stories are often a valuable tool for their education and their everyday life. In this paper we propose a tool that enables parents make their own visual stories using artificial intelligence in order to be personalized to every child's needs.
