Atypical gaze behavior is a diagnostic hallmark of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), playing a substantial role in the social and communicative challenges that individuals with ASD face. This study explores the impacts of a month-long, in-home intervention designed to promote triadic interactions between a social robot, a child with ASD, and their caregiver. Due to requirements per the IRB on protecting confidentiality for minors, a full dataset can be provided upon request.
A relationship between reading and handwriting skills was investigated. Bivariate statistical tests suggest that children with ASD express significantly weaker correlations between reading and handwriting than do neurotypicals, children who are not on the autism spectrum. Tailoring the literacy-learning classroom for literacy abilities peculiar to autism, allow for a new wave of differentiation in ICT classrooms.
IEEE Region 1 Best Paper Award; A knowledge-based diagnosis system to assess/affirm the need for a formal diagnosis and treatment for autism. The system spans most intellectual disabilities and the symptoms thereof related to ASD to suggest individualized medical and educational support for the patient. Future objectives are focused on the system's evaluation by domain experts and potential users in terms of validity, reliability, benefits, limitations, and risks.
A template of responsive music simulations for children with hearing impairments or on the autism/ADHD spectrum.
Ommie is a social robot designed to demonstrate and facilitate deep breathing exercises. This document represents the first iteration of manufacturing documentation, compiled with the assistance of several undergraduate students. Its primary objectives are to document the process of building Ommie, provide valuable resources and references, and highlight areas for future development in Ommie's manufacturing. Additionally, this compilation is intended to serve as a guide for students in the Yale Social Robotics Lab, ensuring the continued use and development of Ommie beyond my time at Yale.
Within this document, you'll find detailed instructions and photographs of the Ommie prototype constructed during Spring 2024. It includes a Bill of Materials (BOM), motor configuration details, software documentation, troubleshooting guides, and an FAQ offering practical tips for prototyping and resolving issues. Some sections link to external YouTube videos that provide tutorials on essential skills, such as soldering.
Curriculum outline and proposal for an innovative, interdisciplinary degree that combines entrepreneurship, real estate, and urban development with liberal arts training to provide students with the integrative literacies necessary for careers in real estate.
