An Approach to Facilitate Turn-Taking Behavior with Paired Devices for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Published in 2016 25th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN), 2016

Summary

This study presented an approach to facilitate turn-taking behavior with paired devices for children with autism spectrum disorder. The work arranged device-mediated interaction to support reciprocal social behavior during play or therapeutic activities.

The study contributes to the Supporting and Autism Support lines by examining how paired devices can be used to structure opportunities for turn-taking. It also provides an early basis for later work on sensory feedback and paired robotic devices for children with autism spectrum disorder.

Research line

  • Supporting: device-mediated support for reciprocal social interaction
  • Autism Support: turn-taking support for children with autism spectrum disorder
  • Social Robots: paired devices for structuring interaction opportunities
