About the Conference
The City University of New York (CUNY) Neurodiversity Conference 2026 brings together researchers, clinicians, educators, and self-advocates to explore inclusive approaches to neurodiversity. The conference emphasizes collaboration, accessibility, and real-world impact through research and co-design.
About Our Project
Our project, Co-Designed Adaptive Typing Training System for Nonspeaking Autistic individuals, focuses on building an accessible training platform.
Where We Are?
We are currently in the prototype and integration stage, where we have developed:
- Camera-based hand tracking
- Keyboard lighting guidance
- Audio feedback system
- Modular architecture (React + backend processing)
This system is being developed in collaboration with nonspeaking autistic individuals and clinicians, ensuring that the design reflects real user needs.
At this stage, we are presenting a working prototype and moving toward user testing and refinement.
You can also meet the people behind this work on our Team page.
