title: Communication software using pictures for use with Pocket PCs.
abstract: Autism spectrum disorder has become one of the most prevalent developmental disorders. A difficulty with communication is one of the main impairments. We are developing a digital library of images that will be used to help children with autism communicate without the need for reading or writing skills. Images will be displayed on Pocket PCs to convey messages. We are currently developing and evaluating the first prototype.
