Technologies for Inclusion Conference

On January 15, the Higher School of Informatics of Ciudad Real hosted the Conference on “Technology for the inclusion of people with ASD”, organized by Drs. Ana Isabel Molina Díaz and Carmen Lacave Rodero, members of the CHICO group for the University of Castilla – La Mancha and principal investigators of the APTEA research project (Ref. TED2021-131956B-I00).

The objective of these conferences has been to present the progress made in the development of various applications for people with ASD, in the context of the APTEA (Ref. TED2021-131956B-I00) and PlanTEAAF (Ref. 2022-GRIN) research projects. -34175), as well as the collaboration agreements 220413CONV (between AUTRADE[1] and UCLM) and 230405CONV (between FACLM[2] and the UCLM). 

To do this, we have had the presence of representatives from AUTRADE, from the FACLM, which includes different associations in the region, and from the Spanish Federation of Associations of Parents of People with Autism (FESPAU), which brings together several federations Nacional level.

As a result of these sessions, new lines of work have been defined on which to continue working to facilitate the lives of people with ASD and those around them.
