Abstract/Resumo
which means that there is a wide degree of variation in the way it affects people. It is
known that, even though it has a huge spectrum, the characterization of the speech of
autistic children has been consensual in the literature as devoid of wealth prosodic
parameters manifested by healthy children, such as the emotional aspects that are
reflected in communicative interaction. The use of technology as a teaching tool has
been growing and the presentation of educational exercises through electronic devices
reveals itself as more attractive and captivating for children when compared with
traditional methods. In this project, we developed prosodic exercises for intonation
assessment in an imitation task, where the main focus is the development and
enrichment of prosodic abilities of children with autism spectrum disorders, as a
complement to therapy sessions.We evaluated the intonation assessment method,
achieving accuracy values between 70%and 83.3%, depending on the feature set
adapted (pitch, energy, Mel-Frequency Cepstral features, and pseudo-syllable
information), and also by making a fusion of all features. Although the original intention
was to integrate these exercises in an existing platform for children diagnosed with
ASD, the current implementation is a stand-alone mobile application.
