About

The investigators will test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a Mobile game system meant to generate valuable data for measuring progress and building novel artificial intelligence models while delivering impactful education for and treatment of children with developmental delays such as autism. Investigators will enroll children with autism aged 2-8 years old and their neurotypical sibling or an unrelated neurotypical control (aged 2-8 years old).

Sex: All

Ages: 2 to 12 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

1. Parent or primary caregiver over 18 of a child with autism, we will enrich for children between the ages of 2 and 8 years old.
2. Autism diagnosis confirmed by a screener such as the Mobile Autism Risk Assessment (MARA) and or similar published tools.

Exclusion criteria

(1) Physical, intellectual, language related, or environmental limitations that prevent the ability for the family to play the game as intended.

Autism Case Group

Experimental group

Description:

Autistic participants will receive mobile game system for 12 weeks and be asked to play a minimum of ten 90-second game sessions per week per child over 12 weeks. Research team will further require that at least three of these 10 weekly sessions with each child be with game decks displaying emotion.

Neurotypical Sibling Control Group

Other group

Description:

Neurotypical control participants will receive the same mobile game system for 12 weeks and be asked to play a minimum of ten 90-second game sessions per week per child over 12 weeks. Research team will further require that at least three of these 10 weekly sessions with each child be with game decks displaying emotion.
