  1. Multimodal Annotation Tool for Challenging Behaviors in People with Autism Spectrum Disorders Akane Sano, Javier Hernandez, Jean Deprey, Micah Eckhardt, Rosalind W. Picard, Matthew S. Goodwin1 MIT Media Lab 1Northeastern University

  2. Relevant Work • Pen & paper • Flexible • Prone to errors • Slow • Other tools for annotations • CareLog(Hayes et al. 2008) • Baby Steps (Kientz et al. 2009) • SymTrend, AutismTrack,… • Annotation Apps

  3. Application http://affect.media.mit.edu/projectpages/ama/

  4. Application: Events Summary http://affect.media.mit.edu/projectpages/ama/

  5. Application: Configuration http://affect.media.mit.edu/projectpages/ama/

  6. Application: Benefits • Portable • Scalable • Inexpensive • Customizable • Reliable

  7. User Study Groden Center 8 class teachers (6 females, ages 23-37, 2 males, ages 32, 52) • previous experience in behavior assessments using pen/paper annotations • familiar with the use of tablet computers

  8. User Study

  9. Results System Usability Scale - Score: 80.3 (std: 11) Strongly Agree Strongly Disagree (Brooke, 1996)

  10. Results Strongly Disagree Strongly Agree

  11. Other Findings No quantifiable impact on children's behaviors or school performance. One child especially enjoyed using the tablet in conjunction with the teacher. A smaller device could be a better option: “Change the size of the tablet to one possibly a little bigger than a smart phone so staff can put it in a pocket if need to respond to student with two hands free.”

  12. Future Work • More systematic comparison between pen & paper method and the application • Inclusion of wireless biosensors • Infrastructure to share and visualize data

  13. Conclusions • Mobile tool to easily capture and annotate challenging behaviors • Application available online • Potential benefits 1) Connecting stakeholders 2) Data-driven characterization of ASD 3) More personalized behavioral interventions http://affect.media.mit.edu/projectpages/ama/
