The major goal of this Project was to evaluate the feasibility, social validity, and effectiveness of using socially interactive robots for promoting the social-emotional, joint attention, vocalization production, conversational turns, and language development of young children with identified disabilities. The Project was funded, in part, by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (H327A100052).
