In this paper, we presented an Italian project, <i>SUPER</i>, which aimed to foster collaboration and information sharing between ASD families, health services, and schools. <i>SUPER</i> provided a digital platform with several tools that were useful both to enhance general and specific ASD knowledge and to promote personalized programs for children with ASD. We conducted a preliminary user test for the platform with 30 participants (18 therapists and 12 parents of children with ASD) using the system usability scale (SUS). The total mean SUS score (89.2) showed that <i>SUPER</i> is an excellent, usable system. Moreover, we extracted the usability and learnability mean components from the SUS scores, which were 96.1 and 61.7, respectively. Our preliminary results indicate that <i>SUPER</i> is a very user-friendly application and its innovative telemedicine approach could be ahelpful communication and collaboration tool among the different contexts of care for children with ASD.Ersilia VallefuocoGiulia PurpuraGiovanna GisonAndrea BonifacioLuca TagliabueFiorenza BroggiGoffredo ScuccimarraAlessandro PepinoRenata NacinovichMDPI AGarticleautism spectrum disordertelemedicinedigital platformindividual-centered approachNeurosciences.
