The Orlena Hanks Puckett Institute

Participants Accepted until:  12/31/2011

 

The Puckett Institute is condictin a study using Social Robots to promote joint attention in children with autism.  In laboratory settings, social robots have been successful in promoting social interaction and joint attention in children with autism.  We are interested in finding out what parents think about these robots.  In this study, parents will be asked to watch a 2 to 3 minute video of a robot and child interacting and will answer 12 questions about the practicality and usefulness of the robot. 

The entire study can be done over the Internet and takes about 10 minutes.  By assisting us in this study, you will help us learn more about social robots and their potential as a therapeutic intervention for children with disabilities.
