A Multimodal Conversational Interface to Support the creation of customized Social Stories for People with ASD

This paper proposes a multimodal conversational interface that supports caregivers of people with ASD in the semiautomatic creation of social stories. With the support of the multimodal interface the editor lets caregivers select the appropriate elements and the content representations to be included in the social stories by following specific guidelines. We describe the interface design and a preliminary evaluation of the mobile application. Seven caregivers of people with ASD have participated in the evaluation. Usability results are encouraging.
