Arabic NODA Validation Study for Autism Diagnosis in Saudi Arabia

NODA (Naturalistic Observation Diagnostic Assessment) is a telehealth-based diagnostic tool for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) that guides caregivers to record structured home videos of their child's behavior using a smartphone app. In this study, a culturally adapted Arabic version of NODA was used to capture four standardized behavioral scenarios, which were later reviewed by licensed clinicians for diagnostic evaluation.
