摘要:Autism is a developmental disorder which influences the ability to socialize and communicate. It is not only a matter of families afflicted by autism,but also a social problem,as the number of children diagnosed with autism rises. One of the main problems is a limited access to a support system,especially in terms of early diagnosis,but also therapy. The number of therapy centers and qualified staff is not high enough. Appropriate therapy started as early as possible is essential on the way to independent life as an adult. The paper reports current stage of the project Automated Therapy Monitoring for Children with Developmental Disorders of Autism Spectrum (AUTMON),that aims at development of methods and tools to allow for the automatic evaluation of the therapy progress among children with autism (AUTMON,2015). The project has been proposed to work out effective methods of early diagnosis and therapy support,which could not only improve the quality of life of people with autism and their families,but also make therapists’ work more effective and even reduce the costs of sustained care (Landowska and Smiatacz,2016)..
