Abstract
ABSTRACT Learning to perform self-care skills can pose a major challenge for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as well as the parents and caregivers who support them. The computerized device described in this paper has been used by children with ASD and their carers to autonomously assist with self-care activities. The device uses computer vision and artificial intelligence to track a child with ASD through an activity and issues audio and visual prompts as required. A pilot study involving five children with ASD was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the device as it assisted with hand washing. Results showed that the device responded correctly to approximately 74% of the situations it encountered. While there are areas requiring improvement, acceptance of the device by children and their parents was encouraging. Efforts are underway to refine the device before evaluation through future long-term, in-home trials.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
