The context for our work is the study of autism, a\ndevelopmental condition which is characterized by impairments in social\ninteraction and communication. The diagnosis and treatment of autism is based\non behavioral observations and interventions, which are performed by\nhighly-trained specialists. Our thesis is that computational models and methods\ncan accelerate the acquisition and modeling of behavioral data and provide new\nforms of decision support for therapy. I will describe the challenges, computational\nand otherwise, that we face in this endeavor and give several examples of the\nsensing technologies that form the basis for our research.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\n\n\u003Cp\u003EBio:\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nJim Rehg is a Professor in School of Interactive Computing, where he co-directs\nthe Computational Perception Lab.
