What is EASI-AS?

Our Evaluative Artificial Speech Intelligence-Autism Screener project (EASI-AS) is an NSF/SBIR Phase II project. EASI-AS features cutting-edge machine-learning technology that will reliably screen for autism by identifying linguistic and non-linguistic features, extracted from recordings of children’s speech. The system uses familiar mobile devices to collect speech samples, which employ a user-friendly interface that parents and professions can operate with very little training.

Research has shown that early intensive intervention services can improve social and communication skills in autistic children. So increasing access to early intervention services is one of the key goals of our project.​

How can our community get involved?

We are working to help autistic children and their families by creating a tool that anonymously screens for autism by using speech samples. We are currently seeking language samples.
