Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Nicolette Caldwell's research focuses on interventions for children with autism spectrum disorder, particularly those who are minimally verbal. Her work investigates the effectiveness of technology-assisted communication, such as mobile augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices, and the impact of communication partners' speech on augmented input. Caldwell has examined the relationship between the amount of intervention and outcomes for young autistic children, and has explored the use of artificial intelligence in implementing instructional strategies for children with autism. She has also contributed to systematic reviews and meta-analyses of early childhood autism intervention studies, assessing the quality of reporting in this research area. Caldwell has co-authored multiple publications with collaborators Elizabeth R. Lorah and Christine Holyfield at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
