title = "Towards a GenAI-Driven Gamified Platform for Supporting Social Turn-Taking in Autistic Children",
abstract = "Autistic children often face challenges in reciprocal communication leading to difficulties with social turn-taking (STT), affecting their social interactions. Prior technical interventions show limitations in personalization and sensory adaptability, while also exhibiting scalability constraints. However, recent advances in generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) offer the opportunity to develop adapted tools. Therefore, this Ph.D. work aims to design and evaluate a GenAI-driven, gamified tool to support STT in reciprocal communication for verbal autistic children. The Gamified Adaptive Interaction Platform (GAIP) integrates GenAI personalization with gamification. This research will deliver this key contribution: a novel methodology for adaptive STT interventions using multimodal behavioural sensing to support reciprocal communication. GAIP plans to advance autism interventions through scalable, adaptive AI, advancing HCI and autism inclusion.",
