Research abstract
We propose to construct a computer program to help young children cope with home life while a parent is absent. This program is meant to help fill the time and parental voids that happen immediately upon deployment all the way up to homecoming. The application we propose, Assisted Reading with Absent Family (AFAR), is a personal interactive dialogue application centered on the activity of story time, emulating a parent reading a story to a child.
