Abstract
This paper aims to create tools to enhance communication for individuals with with nvASD(non-verbal autism spectrum disorder) and mvASD(minimally-verbal autism spectrum disorder). Using machine learning and android application interface, I aim to classify and better convey the intentions of individuals with nv/mvASD, and the meanings of what they want to convey to others. This paper demonstrates new possibilities to better understand nv/mvASD individuals’ vocalization intent by using machine learning and to provide an interface for enhanced communication between caretakers and Autistic individuals who do not use traditional spoken communication words.
