THE REMOTE AUTISM ASSESSMENT PLATFORM:
NODA
Clinical centers can now offer a new remote autism assessment service. With NODA, clinicians observe behaviors captured by the family at home through a secure platform. NODA was developed by Behavior Imaging Solutions
Autism Diagnosis Today
Autism prevalence is increasing. It rose 15% to 1 in 59 in 2018. Demand for autism care is 18x higher than the supply of caregivers. Even though experts agree that early intervention is critical for future outcomes, many families still face long wait-times prior to diagnosis. Families need faster, more convenient autism assessments, so that they can access the resources that they need to thrive.
NODA Helps Close the Gap
- Brings the observational powers of the clinician into the home
- Reaches those in rural areas who would otherwise have to travel
- Allows clinicians to assess and diagnose patients faster, reducing wait-times
- Provides families with earlier access to intervention and an improved developmental trajectory
- Works towards a society where the families of autistic children have access to needed resources in a timely fashion

YEARS IN THE MAKING
Ron and Sharon Oberleitner founded Behavior Imaging Solutions in 2005 to develop technology as a means of increasing disabled people’s access to care via technology.
2.7
MILLION DOLLARS IN RESEARCH
NODA was commercially developed through a $2.7 Million dollar NIH-funded series of research studies that proved that observation at home is an effective autism assessment method.

THE WAIT-TIME FOR FAMILIES
A recent NIH-funded research study showed that the NODA method cuts the average total time to obtain an autism assessment in half compared to the in-person method.
How NODA Works
Once clinicians determine that a family is a good candidate for NODA, there are four easy steps:
1. CLINICIANS GUIDE THE FAMILY TO REGISTER ON NODA PLATFORM
2. FAMILY COLLECTS AND UPLOADS VIDEOS AND DATA FROM HOME
3. CLINICIANS REVIEW DATA AND PERFORM ASSESSMENT
4. CLINICIANS CREATE ASSESSMENT REPORT AND NEXT STEPS

RON OBERLEITNER, CEO OF BEHAVIOR IMAGING:
Twenty years ago, our family faced a challenge that many families still face today. Long wait times at diagnostic clinics led to us going almost two years before confirming our son Robby’s autism diagnosis. The NODA method would have been invaluable to help us get an earlier start on Robby’s treatment.
