Abstract

Autism and related communicative disorders in children are major issues facing parents, school districts, and government institutions. Autism now affects one in eighty-eight children in the United States, and treatment requires significant resources - time, expertise, and financial. This project seeks to enhance the reach of therapeutic efforts through a family of smart mobile tools created to assist therapists working with autism and communicative disorders. The system uses cloud services and a knowledge automation expert (artificial intelligence) engine to track patterns in treatment and visually display those patterns for clinicians, schools, and parents, thereby creating a space for cross-communication between parties that is tailored to the treatment needs of each child.
