“…Helping individuals diagnosed with developmental impairments has been a major focus of applied behavior analysis (ABA) in recent decades (e.g., Axelrod, McElrath, & Wine, ; Foxx, ; O'Donohue & Fryling, ). In the course of these efforts, the ABA practitioner is responsible for providing an intervention that is grounded in sound behavior‐analytic theory backed by behavior‐based science (e.g., Behavior Analyst Certification Board, ).…”

Promoting the Emergence of Advanced Knowledge-Direct Training Module (PEAK-DTM) is a commercially available assessment and curriculum for individuals whose language skills are not developmentally adequate. In their review of PEAK-DTM, Reed and Luiselli (2016) analyzed the extant literature on PEAK-DTM and concluded that it has a sound and growing body of empirical support on its efficacy, usability, and psychometric properties. Similar conclusions are mirrored in the PEAK-DTM literature and promotional material. I review these conclusions and contend that many overrate the research that backs them. Suggestions for a more rigorous research agenda on PEAK-DTM and its related modules are provided.

“…The ABA therapy is often used as a treatment for children with autism. It is a widespread and recognized method for increasing learning, communication and appropriate social behavior [26]. Positive reinforcement, reward for desired behaviors and ignorance for inappropriate behaviors are the main characteristics.…”

The recognition of facial expressions is important for the perception of emotions. Understanding emotions is essential in human communication and social interaction. Children with autism have been reported to exhibit deficits in the recognition of affective expressions. Their difficulties in understanding and expressing emotions lead to inappropriate behavior derived from their inability to interact adequately with other people. Those deficits seem to be rather permanent in individuals with autism so intervention tools for improving those impairments are desirable. Educational interventions for teaching emotion recognition from facial expressions should occur as early as possible in order to be successful and to have a positive effect. It is claimed that Serious Games can be very effective in the areas of therapy and education for children with autism. However, those computer interventions require considerable skills for interaction. Before the age of 6, most children with autism do not have such basic motor skills in order to manipulate a mouse or a keyboard. Our approach takes account of the specific characteristics of preschoolers with autism and their physical inabilities. By creating an educational computer game, which provides physical interaction by employing natural user interface (NUI), we aim to support early intervention and to foster facial expression learning.

“…From facial affect detection to non-invasive screening methods, from behavior tracking to speech therapy, autismtech research has been boosted by major advancements in mobile sensor and capturing tools (e.g., Apple's HealthKit and ResearchKit) [20]. Autism & Beyond uses facial affect detection from video responses to understand risk of autism in the viewer [21]. Gaze-Wasserstein is a non-invasive screening method that uses gaze-tracking technology and is deployable in any camera smartphone [22].…”

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a critical problem worldwide; however, low and middle-income countries (LMICs) often suffer more from it due to the lack of contextual research and effective care infrastructure. Moreover, ASD in LMICs offers unique challenges as cultural misperceptions and social practices often impede effective care there. However, the recent growth in mobile phone adoption in many LMICs has created a timely opportunity for improving ASD care practices through digital means. We present qualitative findings on the challenges of designing mobile assistive technologies for ASD in Bangladesh. Our data reveals a set of technical, social, and cultural challenges with caregivers and care professionals for designing a meaningful technology for them. We show how those challenges are deeply rooted in the broader infrastructural and cultural tensions of the country. We also present embedded design implications to overcome these challenges.
