Practical Consideration of the Support Function for Analyzing the Behavioral Factors of People Suffering from Autism Spectrum Disorder in a Video Annotation System

Abstract

A case conferences wherein several teachers analyze a n ASD person have been adopted in ASD intervention programs to analyze ASD person ‟s behavior . However , inexperienced teachers may have a tendency to focus not on the causal behavior factors but on the surfaced behavior when analyzing videos in a case conference. Therefore, we designed a computer -based video annotation system for supporting case conferences to increase inexperienced teachers‟ awareness of behavior factors. In this paper, we reported the results of the trial use of a prototype system . The results suggested that the prototype system is effective for enabling inexperienced teachers to pay attention to behavior factors.
