EXPLORATION OF AUTISM USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNIQUES

摘要

Independence and confidence are building methodologies in achieving dreams and goals in life. There are about approximately fifteen of every 10,000 individuals affected with developmental disorders in this world Doubtless, they need helping hands. The Indian Scenario with regard to Autism is still in its nascent stage. There is very limited resource and infrastructure available for these Special children. Most Autistic Children attend special care schools that provide for children with Cerebral Palsy or Downs Syndrome. Hence there arises a need for developing technological Aids designed to help diagnosis and increase Parent participation for Autistic children. This led to the development of a Knowledge based screener (KBS) and an intelligent gaming system that would detect all categories of the developmental disorders. Social developmental disorders comprise a wide spectrum. Pervasive developmental and similar disorders constitute this spectrum. This knowledge-based system we have developed will help detect the presence of these disorders and provide home-based intervention. The main goal of our study is to develop technological aids, which will help Autistic individuals to improvise their skills and overcome the barriers they face.
