Computer-Aided Language Development in Nonspeaking Children

Embracing the future: Artificial intelligence in the provision of pre-employment transition services to autistic and neurodivergent youth

“…Although interest in exploring the use of computer-based interventions for autistic youth can be found in published works dating back to the1960's (Colby, 1968; Miller & Bugnariu, 2016), AI has recently gained widespread acceptance and integration into daily life for a multitude of purposes. AI refers to machines that utilize models and algorithms to analyze data and recognize patterns, thereby mimicking human intelligence with the ability to learn, problem-solve, self-correct, recognize speech, and make decisions (Rehman et al, 2021; Senechal et al, 2023).…”

The Use of Nonvocal Communication Techniques With Autistic Individuals

“…Similar documented cases of prior treatment by speech therapy or other procedures include the Bonvillian and Nelson chUd (1974Colby, 1968) and the Salvin fia/. case (1977).…”

A Targeted Review of Computer-Assisted Learning for People with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Towards a Consistent Methodology

“…Other authors also emphasise the value of multi-media content (Colby 1968;Hagiwara and Myles 1999;Rehfeldt et al 2004;Stromer et al 2006;Williams et al 2002) and specifically graphics (Bernard-Opitz et al 1999;Massaro and Bosseler 2006;Hopkins et al 2011;Moore et al 2005;Tjus et al 2001). In particular, when working with younger children or those with limited or no verbal language, being able to present attractive, engaging, audio content with animation is considered an advantage over traditional teaching methods (e.g.…”

“…There is some evidence for successful generalisation of CAL-taught skills to real world settings (Bosseler and Massaro 2003;Hetzroni and Shalem 2005;Hetzroni and Tannous 2004;Colby 1968;Williams et al 2002;Panyan 1984) as well as for sustained gains in follow-up (Beaumont and Sofronoff 2008;Bosseler and Massaro 2003). The degree of generalisation seems important (e.g.…”
