Abstract

Purpose: Humanoid robot intervention programmes for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are being developed rapidly. This study aimed to develop and test a robotic intervention framework for children with ASD to ensure best practice. Methods: In Phase I of this study, an initial framework w...
