RoboKind Study: Advanced Robotics and Digital Avatars for Social & Emotional Learning
We are excited to highlight a study in partnership with Rhode Island College and RI Department of Education – RoboKind – a technology that uses advanced robotics and digital avatars and combines them with a tailored social-emotional curriculum for students with autism spectrum disorder.
What is RoboKind?
RoboKind is an interactive platform designed to meet the varying needs of each student, helping them work on important life skills such as communication, problem-solving, social interaction, and emotional regulation. Through real-time interactions, students learn these skills in a way that is both meaningful and motivating.
How does RoboKind support students?
We understand that each student has unique strengths and challenges. RoboKind’s ability to adjust to individual learning styles makes it a powerful tool in our classrooms. Some of the key benefits include:
- Enhanced Communication and Social Skills: RoboKind helps students practice verbal and non-verbal communication skills and other social behaviors, improving their ability to express themselves and interact with others.
- Engagement with Curriculum: RoboKind incorporates Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum using evidence-based practices.
- Emotional Development: By offering immediate feedback and encouragement, RoboKind helps students develop better emotional regulation and self-confidence.
Our students look forward to and are fully engaged in their sessions with RoboKind, and our staff have seen impressive growth among those who are participating in the study.
