This presentation offers a concise critical overview of interactive technologies designed for individuals with autism. It also showcases several innovative tools being developed to advance re-search and learning, including wireless biosensing for long-term physiological arousal monitoring in natural settings, wireless 3-axis accelerometers with pattern recognition algorithms for auto-mated detection of stereotypical motor movements and aggressive behavior, and unobtrusive audio-video capture systems that generate ultradense longitudinal records of behavior and de-velopment in home environments.
