The Diagnosis of Autism is Made Later in Black Families. Perhaps This Will Help
Early detection of autism is crucial for ensuring timely access to diagnostic evaluations and early intervention services, significantly improving outcomes for children. While clinicians can reliably diagnose autism in toddlers, many still face delays. Enter SenseToKnow—a groundbreaking mobile autism screening app available on smartphones and tablets. This innovative tool uses computer vision and machine learning to provide an objective, quantitative assessment of early behavioral signs of autism.
Why does this matter? For Black families, this issue is even more pressing. Research shows that Black children often miss critical early screenings and diagnoses for developmental disorders compared to their white peers. The sooner these diagnoses occur, the better the outcomes for these children. That’s why any app that can help make a difference is not just welcome—it’s essential!
