ALTEA

The ALTEA project, which is coordinated by Avila Autism and with participation from the Autism Group of the Robotic Institute (University of Valencia), the Computer Technology Institute of Valencia and the Starlab Company of Barcelona enabled the development of an administration system of stimuli for people with TEA and the gathering of galvanic skin response (GSR) through a wireless bracelet (not invasive) along with a smart system to detect deviations in the response pattern in the GSR signal with respect to typical response. Furthermore, in its first phase (2005-2006) the experimental valuing of a group of 4 people with autism who had developed their communication to the extent of being able to inform us of their sensorial difficulties was carried out, thus enabling us to check the value of the technology that was utilised. An experimental study will subsequently be carried out with participation from people with TEA (N=20) who have not developed their communication to the point where they can express the aforesaid difficulties.
