Description - This project examines how early intervention environments can be systematically designed to increase gross motor engagement in young children with autism spectrum disorder. Motor delays affect a large proportion of autistic children and may constrain participation in play and social learning during a critical developmental period. Early intervention settings provide an important context for promoting gross motor engagement; however, movement opportunities are often incidental and not intentionally designed to align with children's developmental motor abilities. The study integrates applied behavior analysis (ABA) and physical therapy (PT) frameworks to evaluate the effects of structured, play-based activities on autistic children's gross motor engagement, physical activ

UNMC MMI logo and branding; Tara in circle frame; information as listed in post; text: Title - COMPAS: Computational Multimodal Precursor Assessment System for Proactive Interventions in Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. Description - Challenging behaviors such as aggression and self-injury are a major driver of intensive services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, yet current assessment methods rely heavily on time-consuming manual coding of video and audio. The COMPAS project aims to develop interpretable multimodal AI tools that automatically identify and predict challenging behaviors and their early vocal and motor precursors using synchronized clinical video and audio data. By enabling earlier detection and reducing clinician burden, COMPAS has the potential to improve safety, expand access to expert behavioral assessment, and support more proactive, data-driven care.
