项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract The goal of the proposed project is to make the widespread use of an autistic driver training program feasible. Specifically, we plan in phase I to develop an innovative learn-as-you-go training module and in phase II to rewrite the app for a variety of devices and operating systems. The program teaches visual search skills to autistic individuals who are learning to drive. The lack of a training module limits the widespread use and implementation of this important program. One in 54 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and ≈50,000 autistic teens transition out of special education annually. Learning to drive can significantly improve autistic teens' quality of life, ability to seek employment and engagement in social activities, thereby improving their physical and mental health. Autistic teens can learn to drive safely with additional supports beyond traditional driver training programs. In particular, autistic teens need more support to develop effective visual search skills that allow them to effectively follow rules, prioritize critical information and avoid road hazards. This is of particular importance to teen drivers, as motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death and acquired disability among U.S. teens. One-third of all at-fault crashes among teen drivers is due to the teen not responding to road hazards appropriately. There is a critical need for tools that effectively train autistic teen drivers to recognize and avoid road hazards.

项目概要/摘要拟议项目的目标是使自闭症驾驶员培训计划的广泛使用变得可行。具体来说，我们计划在第一阶段开发一个创新的“随用随学”培训模块，在第二阶段开发该程序针对各种设备和操作系统重写了应用程序，教授搜索视觉技能。正在学习驾驶的自闭症患者缺乏培训模块限制了其广泛使用和使用。这项重要计划的实施。美国每 54 名儿童中就有 1 名被诊断患有自闭症谱系障碍。每年有约 50,000 名自闭症青少年从特殊教育中过渡出来，学习驾驶可以显着改善这一情况。提高自闭症青少年的生活质量、求职能力和参与社会活动的能力，从而改善自闭症青少年的身心健康可以在额外的支持下学习安全驾驶。超越传统的驾驶员培训计划，自闭症青少年尤其需要更多支持来制定有效的计划。视觉搜索技能使他们能够有效地遵守规则、确定关键信息的优先顺序并避免道路危险。这对于青少年驾驶员来说尤其重要，因为机动车辆碰撞事故是导致死亡的主要原因美国青少年中的后天残疾青少年司机发生的所有过失事故中，有三分之一是由于青少年不这样做造成的。迫切需要有效训练自闭症青少年的工具。驾驶员识别并避免道路危险。
