@clinikids_au @gailalvares @TheKids_AU Congratulations, @gailalvares ! 😀

We recently published our work, funded by @India_Alliance , in JSHLR @ASHAJournals

Key takeaway: LENA's automatic speech processing algorithms need refinement to accurately classify adult and child speech in India's bi/multilingual context.

[ASHA Journals @ASHAJournals]

This study documents the performance of automated speech processing in correctly classifying speakers as adult or child in a sample of families from India, indicating recall and precision that is relatively low.

New publication!
Our latest research, LiL' STEPS, a new online caregiver-mediated support program for infants at elevated familial likelihood for autism, shows promising feasibility & acceptability.

Support for infants who might be Autistic should
-understand & respond to babies' needs
-be individualized affirming & child led
-support parents who might be neurodivergent
-promote QoL
-not suppress Autistic behavior

Great time working with
@Cathy_Bent @KristelleHudry &team

[Cathy Bent @Cathy_Bent]

What supports should we offer parents of babies who might be Autistic?
Our international team of Autistic and non-Autistic researchers have been working to understand views on very early autism supports.
