Understanding the Challenges and Opportunities for Richer Descriptions of Stereotypical Behaviors of Children with ASD: A Concept Exploration and Validation
This paper from Georgia Institute of Technology explores the concept of a wearable sensor system that can tacitly collect contextual data — physiological state, environmental conditions, and location — and map it to occurrences of stereotypical behav…

Skin Conductance as an In Situ Marker for Emotional Arousal in Children with Neurodevelopmental Communication Impairments: Methodological Considerations and Clinical Implications
This paper explores the use of wearable biosensors to measure electrodermal activity (EDA) — specifically skin conductance — as a proxy for emotional arousal in children with neurodevelopmental communication impairments. While EDA has been used in ps…
