Gregory Abowd is a professor at Georgia Tech. He is known for his work in the areas of ubiquitous computing and autism research. I came across a video of his recent TEDxGeogia talk about autism and technology that I found interesting. The video is just over 20 minutes long, but is worth watching.

Note: I was hoping to interview Dr. Abowd during a conference I recently attended (CHI 2011), but was unable to do so. Hopefully I can arrange a phone interview with him soon. As a school psychologist, I often use digital technology in my work with students who have autism spectrum disorders. Most of the students I work are teens or young adults. I'd like to know more about research related to autism and technology that pertains to this age group.
