Summary

This study will develop and test a Robotic Intervention Framework for Children with ASD in the real context. The first part of this study will focus on the identification and initial testing of core elements of effective robotic intervention programs to form a practice framework. Pat II will use a randomized control trial to test the efficacy of the robotic intervention programs that incorporated all elements of the framework. Part III will use a qualitative approach to examine the qualitative outcomes of the program with reference to the elements of the practice framework. With a framework that is built upon evidence and tested sufficiently, practice guidelines and intervention protocol will be delineated to ensure success of robotic intervention programs.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Robot-assisted social skill intervention

Social robotics will be used by the instructor to teach social skills to the children with ASD for 12 weekly sessions.

BEHAVIORAL

Human-only instruction programme on social skill training

The children will receive only the human-delivered training throughout the 12 sessions, with the content and sequence of activities the same as the robotic intervention group.
