🤖 ROBOT-ASSISTED THERAPY SHOWS PROMISE FOR AUTISM! Two new studies reveal that robot-based therapy for young children (ages 4-5) can achieve similar results to traditional behavioral interventions.
âś… Equivalent Outcomes: Robots helped kids improve skills like joint attention and imitation, just like conventional therapy.
âś… Higher Engagement: Children showed greater engagement with the robots during sessions.
âś… Fewer Sessions: Robot-assisted therapy required fewer sessions, easing time constraints for families.
âś… Accessibility: Robots can potentially be used at home or school where clinicians are scarce, increasing access to care. đź”— https://www.emjreviews.com/neu....rology/news/robot-ba
