The Building Evidence for Technology and Autism project (BETA) has just concluded a 2-year journey bursting with reading, writing, meetings, discussions, conferences…
BETA co-developed with the autistic community a framework for better understanding the evidence that supports digital technologies designed for autistic people. The team collaborated with numerous people from clinical, academic and educational fields. Autistic people and their families played a compelling role in the inception and execution of the BETA project.
