AI Modules for Improving Social Conversation in ASD

This study is testing "AI Modules for Improving Social Conversation," a software application designed to help individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) improve their social communication. The researchers want to see if these AI modules, which provide feedback on voice or text input, can effectively deliver social skill interventions typically done face-to-face. You might be able to join if you are between 11 and 35 years old, have an ASD diagnosis, can speak in full sentences for 20 minutes, and have specific verbal communication difficulties, like with empathy. The main goal is to see how much your social conversation skills improve after using the modules for about 9 weeks. The study is currently recruiting 540 participants.

What's involved
You would use the AI modules for 4 weeks, with measurements taken before, after, and one month later, totaling about 9 weeks.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up

What this trial measures

  • Social Communication SampleApproximately 5-9 weeks per participant (4 weeks of intervention + pre and post measures + for adolescents and adults 1-month follow-up.)

    Measured in terms of what percentage of responses (0% - 100%) during the investigators' social conversation sample are answered appropriately for adolescents and adults or number of spoken words for young children. Each of the participants' responses will be evaluated by a MA or PhD-level expert. Social communication samples will be collected via Zoom, recorded and computer transcribed, after which recordings will be erased. An initial sample will be collected at baseline, after four weeks of intervention, and at post-intervention.
