About

Robot for Autism Behavioral Intervention (RABI) answers the following research questions at CUHK's Language and Gesture Lab:

1. How do children with special needs (especially Autism Spectrum Disorders) gesture different from their typically-developing peers? How do these differences tell us about gesture development and factors related to gesture production and comprehension?
2. How do children with Autism Spectrum Disorders benefit from the robot-based gestural intervention program? Are there any individual variations in the learning outcomes?

We are a service offered by STAR, a social enterprise focused on social skills training for children on the autism spectrum. Transcript analysis software CLAN may be found here. CLAN is used to process CHAT-formatted transcripts such as ours. ELAN may be downloaded here.
