Project Introduction

Disciplines/Subjects: Chinese Language Arts

Key Themes: Contemporary Literature, Textual Analysis, Close Reading


This project aims to leverage cutting-edge AI technologies to develop a revolutionary conversational training system tailored for children with autism. We are building an AI product powered by advanced language models designed to enhance the social skills of children with autism.

Traditional social skills interventions often depend on professionals, leading to high costs and limited scalability. Our AI system utilizes innovative natural language processing technologies to provide accessible, personalized socialization training. Through simulated conversations and emotional interactions in a virtual environment, children with autism can practice and develop essential social skills.

At the heart of this product is a data-driven dynamic learning engine that continuously self-optimizes based on user progress, offering step-by-step support. By engaging in multi-turn dialogues, the AI system adapts to individual needs, creating a non-threatening, friendly interaction environment where users can practice skills for real-world social scenarios.

With intelligent guidance and feedback mechanisms, this AI solution offers a sustainable, scalable approach to supporting children with autism in better integrating into society and improving their quality of life. Beyond being a technical tool, this product represents a transformative effort to leverage AI for social good.

We believe that through innovative, scalable AI applications, we can address critical gaps in special education worldwide, becoming a bridge that connects technology with human care.
