OverviewAI-generated summary

Nicolette Caldwell's research focuses on interventions for children with autism spectrum disorder, particularly those involving communication technologies. Her work has explored systematic reviews and meta-analyses of evidence-based practices, including the use of mobile augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices. Caldwell has investigated the relationship between the amount of intervention and child outcomes, and has examined how communication partner speech can be leveraged to automate augmented input for minimally verbal children with autism.

Her publications also address the effectiveness of interaction approaches and high-tech AAC on prelinguistic and linguistic communication in school-aged children. Furthermore, Caldwell has examined the impact of artificial intelligence on instructional strategy fidelity during skill acquisition for children with autism. She has a publication record of 16 papers, with an h-index of 7 and 231 citations. Key collaborators include Elizabeth R. Lorah and Christine Holyfield, with whom she shares 10 publications.
