A web-based therapy can benefit children with autism by plugging into their natural affinity for technology and robots.
The Robot-Inspired Computer-Assisted Adaptive Autism Therapy (RoboCA3T) uses robot avatars and integrates them with computer-assisted therapies.
It reinforces the role of technology in improving engagement and developing skills in children with autism spectrum disorder.
The novel therapy, outlined in the Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, also demonstrates the importance of automated algorithms in minimizing assessment bias and human error.
“The research contributes significantly to the ongoing effort to develop cost-effective, time-efficient, evidence-based treatments for children with autism spectrum disorder,” said corresponding author Sara Ali, PhD, from the National University of Sciences and Technology, in Islamabad, Pakistan.
“RoboCA3T prioritizes personalized content delivery along...
