For neurodevelopmental conditions, diagnosis is often the first step to support. But process itself is labour-intensive and time-consuming. Fatima K., a PhD student at Carleton, is working on a solution that maps a child’s adaptive functioning through natural play. By tracking hand-eye coordination and object manipulation via video, her tool helps guide referrals to occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists faster than ever before. When assessment focuses on individual traits rather than rigid biological boundaries, we can provide more authentic, personalized care.
