| + | Autism spectrum conditions (ASC) represent the fastest growing | ||
| + | neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood, affecting approximately 1 | ||
| + | out of 150 children in the United States. This tutorial will review | ||
| + | the core features of ASC; highlight opportunities to develop wearable | ||
| + | technologies for early diagnosis, behavioral and physiological | ||
| + | assessment, and just-in-time intervention; and underscore ways that | ||
| + | researchers and designers can draw on and learn from individuals with | ||
| + | ASC, their teachers, and caregivers when creating wearable | ||
| + | technologies. | ||

| + | design session at Google, CA where the audience came up with their own | ||
| + | designs of wearable cameras. She is the 2006 recipient of the Higher | ||
| + | Education & Learning Institutes Gold Award from the Global Women and | ||
