Abstract:
The complexity of the Autism Spectrum Disorder and its possible appearance has lead to the development during the latest decade of a very promising method of intervention: the therapy-assisted robots. The technological development and the promising results of the studies carried out on the matter, along with the recent robotic incorporation in to educational context makes that we contemplate the viability of introducing this intervention method within the educational context. The present study demarcates the latest advances of this method from the contribution of experts and analyses the positive consequences that the social robots can have for the Autism Spectrum Disorder treatment. We provide here a new vision of autism intervention in educational context.
