Abstract
Asperger's Syndrome is a disorder that affects neurological development with inefficiency in social interaction, verbal skills and nonverbal communication; being considered an Autism Spectrum Disorder, so a mobile application for children with Asperger's Syndrome that improves social interaction with augmented reality should be developed. As a methodology, ADDIE was used, which has five phases (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) in charge of analyzing the problems and developing the proposal in a short time. The results show the solution of each phase of the methodology, showing the analysis of the resources to implement the development, the design of the architecture to develop the product, and the product development, which is the mobile application with augmented reality that tries to learn the organs of the human body, animals and human skeleton, the approval of the developers and specialists in charge of these disorders affirming its effectiveness and satisfaction of the project.

Keywords
