The robotic intervention for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has generally used pre-defined scripts to deliver verbal content during one-to-one therapy sessions. This practice restricts the use of robots to limited,…
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is one of the most significant neurological disorders that disrupt a person's social communication skills. The progression and development of neuroimaging technologies has made structural network construction…
Mobile phones pervade our daily lives and play ever expanding roles in many contexts. Their ubiquitousness makes them pivotal in empowering disabled people. However, if no inclusive approaches are provided, it becomes a strong vehicle of…
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by deficits in social communication and behavioral patterns. Eye movement data offers a non-invasive diagnostic tool for ASD detection, as it is inherently…
This paper reviews the use of socially interactive robots to assist in the therapy of children with autism. The extent to which the robots were successful in helping the children in their social, emotional, and communication deficits was…
We present a framework to assist therapists and children with autism spectrum disorder in their Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy. The framework was designed in collaboration with Spazio Autismo, an autism center in Mantova, Italy.…
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a chronic neurodevelopmental condition characterized by repetitive behaviors and impairments in social and communication skills. Despite the clear manifestation of these symptoms, many individuals with ASD…
Communication is essential feature in human communities. For some reasons, deaf-mute disabled people lose their ability to hear, speak, or both which makes them suffer to communicate and convey their ideas, especially with normal people.…
The SmartAbility Android Application recommends Assistive Technology (AT) for people with reduced physical ability, by focusing on the actions (abilities) that can be performed independently. The Application utilises built-in sensor…
Social robots, also known as service or assistant robots, have been developed to improve the quality of human life in recent years. The design of socially capable and intelligent robots can vary, depending on the target user groups. In this…
People with disabilities often face discrimination and lack of access in all areas of society. While improving the affordability and appropriateness of assistive technologies can pave the way for easier participation and independence,…
Reading comprehension presents a significant challenge for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), often requiring intensive one-on-one reading support. To assist therapists in scaling this support, we developed a…
Autism is one of the most important neurological disorders which leads to problems in a person's social interactions. Improvement of brain imaging technologies and techniques help us to build brain structural and functional networks.…
Deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) students face significant challenges in specialized educational settings, such as limited exposure to written and spoken language, a lack of tailored educational tools, and restricted access to resources,…
Children can find it challenging to communicate their emotions especially when experiencing mental health challenges. Technological solutions may help children communicate digitally and receive support from one another as advances in…
This paper presents an exploratory study designed for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) that investigates children's awareness of being imitated by a robot in a play/game scenario. The Nao robot imitates all the arm movement…
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) describe a heterogeneous set of conditions classified as neurodevelopmental disorders. Although the mechanisms underlying ASD are not yet fully understood, more recent literature focused on multiple genetics…
Parental control apps, which are mobile apps that allow parents to monitor and restrict their children's activities online, are becoming increasingly adopted by parents as a means of safeguarding their children's online safety. However, it…
Classroom environments are particularly challenging for children with hearing impairments, where background noise, multiple talkers, and reverberation degrade speech perception. These difficulties are greater for children than adults, yet…
The goal of the present study is to identify autism using machine learning techniques and resting-state brain imaging data, leveraging the temporal variability of the functional connections (FC) as the only information. We estimated and…
