Summary

This trial will test a game system that could be used to help kids with developmental delays, like autism.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 2-8 with autism and their neurotypical siblings or unrelated neurotypical controls of the same age. Participants must have a confirmed autism diagnosis using tools like MARA. Families should be able to play the game without physical, intellectual, language, or environmental limitations.
What is being tested?
The study is examining a mobile game system designed as an educational and treatment tool for children with developmental delays such as autism. It aims to collect data that could help in measuring progress and developing new AI models.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves a non-invasive mobile game system, there are no direct medical side effects expected from participation. However, monitoring will occur for any unexpected reactions related to gameplay.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Neurotypical Sibling Control GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Neurotypical control participants will receive the same mobile game system for 12 weeks and be asked to play a minimum of ten 90-second game sessions per week per child over 12 weeks. Research team will further require that at least three of these 10 weekly sessions with each child be with game decks displaying emotion.
Group II: Autism Case GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Autistic participants will receive mobile game system for 12 weeks and be asked to play a minimum of ten 90-second game sessions per week per child over 12 weeks. Research team will further require that at least three of these 10 weekly sessions with each child be with game decks displaying emotion.
