Abstract

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a condition that impairs the proper development of people cognitive functions, social skills, and communicative abilities. A significant percentage of autistic people has inadequate reading comprehension skills. The European project FIRST is focused on developing a multilingual tool called Open Book that applies Human Language Technologies (HLT) to identify reading comprehension obstacles in a document. The tool helps ASD people and their carers by transforming written documents into an easier format after removing the reading obstacles identified. In this paper we present the FIRST project and the developed Open Book tool.
