Abstract

   The purpose of this study is to review an assessment tool that has been developed to evaluate the impact of robotics intervention in the learning for young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). A single-subject Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)-based intervention is conducted in which each participant’s behavior is observed during robotic intervention session. In this paper, the assessment tool is tested with seven children with ASD. Each child had a learning session with a robot called, TOKEI, to learn about time. During each session, the assessment tool is filled in to evaluate the learning impact through robotic intervention. From these learning sessions, the completed assessments tool is evaluated. Incomplete forms, ambiguous and incorrect answers are considered to improve the assessment tool. It is hoped that a useful assessment tool could be used by parents, teachers and therapists in evaluating the impact of robotic learning intervention among young children with ASD.
