Abstract
This paper focuses on IQ and EQ enhancement for people with mental challenges such as Autism, Asparagus syndrome and Down syndrome. People with autism and asparagus syndrome develop a relatively high IQ but below average EQ. On the other hand, people with Down syndrome and intellectual disability have low IQ and relatively high EQ. The system uses speech recognition and detection to listen and understand the user. The application uses text to speech (TTS) in addition to an artificial intelligent chat bot to maintain conversations with the user. Furthermore the system uses image processing to detect users emotions and facial expression. The application uses the methodologies used in several medical institutes and psychiatrist. In addition to IQ and EQ tests that are performed to detect the enhancement of the users IQ and EQ. There are two types of Intellectual disability previously known as mental retardation, namely: mildly mentally retarded (MIMR) and severely mentally retarded (MOMR). Intellectual disability according to IQ is rated by scores. An IQ of 130 and above means Very Intelligent, an IQ of 120–129 indicates intelligent, and an IQ 110–119 indicates High Average, an IQ of 90–109 indicates Average, and an IQ of 80–89 indicates Low Average. An IQ of 70–79 means MIMR and an IQ 69 and lower means MOMR [1]. In Emotional intelligence, the average human rate is from 90 to 110. A person with an IQ below 90 is considered to have low EQ. The main goal of this paper is to help users with below average IQ and EQ to seek normal rates. The developed program uses machine learning, speech recognition, image processing, and best IQ methodologies available to perform an EQ test repeatedly until the user reaches the normal EQ rates. That will allow users with autism to participate in their society and have a normal life. Many parents cannot afford to take their children to a specialist or send them to special schools. Consequently, parents should no longer suffer from self-taking care for their disable kids. In developing countries, children in Orphanages would not be diagnosed for their disability nor would have support from the staff. There are many programs and therapy institutions exist that is specialized in helping those disable people. However, mostly there are no computerized programs nor enough personal to support such children, adults or even parents. The combination of methodologies and the repetitive EQ and IQ tests ensures the effectiveness and efficiency of the product.
