Abstract: Introduction: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by social communication deficits and repetitive behaviors. Speech therapy is a key intervention, and technologies like augmented reality (AR) have emerged as promising tools. Objective: To describe the use of augmented reality and related technologies in speech therapy interventions for individuals with ASD. Methods: A bibliographic review of recent studies was conducted, focusing on AR-based therapeutic and educational applications for ASD, emphasizing clinical relevance and functional outcomes. Results: AR enables interactive and personalized environments that enhance attention, motivation, and understanding of social and communicative skills. Its use in speech therapy has shown benefits in vocabulary acquisition, emotion recognition, and adaptive behavior. Conclusions: AR technologies offer significant advantages over traditional interventions by adapting to the heterogeneous needs of individuals with ASD. Their integration into speech therapy can enhance communicative and social development, contributing to more effective and accessible interventions.
