Evaluate the Effect of Social Robot Mediation on the Development of Emotional Skills
Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that involves difficulties especially in the sphere of social interaction, social communication, and restricted and stereotyped behavior patterns.
In particular, emotional regulation is a central developmental skill. In fact, the emotional dysregulation observed in children with autism results in increased social and behavioral difficulties over time.
Therefore, the present protocol aims to test the role of a human-assisted social robot as a mediator of social-emotional understanding intervention for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
The children, will be divided into two groups, an experimental one in which training will be conducted through the use of social robot and control group which will be conducted through traditional therapy.
Inclusion: Language in sentences; use of connectors; ability to narrate events not present; ADOS level: module 2; Griffiths: QS>75.
Exclusion: presence of other medical disorders.
