SensaSkin: A haptic interface for diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorders in children

Project Details

Description

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a diverse group of conditions that impairs approximately 1% of the children population. One of the most frequent disorders observed in children with ASD is over-or under-sensitivity to tactile stimuli. Sensory integration is a common intervention technique for treating these sensory disorders; however, its effectiveness is inconclusive due to the lack of objective methodologies to determine the tactile abnormalities of a child. Here, we propose to develop SensaSkin, a new haptic skin that can display tunable tactile sensations, paving the way to a new diagnosis and treatment tool for touch sensitivity in children with ASD.
