We are thrilled to announce that we are developing a new project called Assessment Buddy! This exciting new venture will be an educational assessment tool for autism and ADHD. It will leverage the principles of established and widely-used screening frameworks like the Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ), the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT), and the diagnostic criteria from the DSM-5.
Assessment Buddy will not make a diagnosis but will help users understand a child or student’s unique profile and connect them with vital resources. Our tool will feature an interactive agent that asks about a child’s sensory sensitivities, social play preferences, and how they handle changes in routine. For an educator, it will guide them through classroom scenarios, asking about a student’s focus, participation, or organizational skills.
Important Disclaimer
Every interaction will begin with a clear, mandatory disclaimer that the agent is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical, psychological, or psychiatric advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
We are committed to a system that does not collect or store any personally identifiable information (PII). Our development team will include a professional with expertise in neurodiversity, such as an educational psychologist and a special education professional, to ensure the highest standards of accuracy and support.
Stay tuned for more updates on this groundbreaking project!
