Robot-Assisted Instruction For Children With Autism

MOVIA’s RAI gives children with autism and other special needs the opportunity to learn while feeling comfortable and confident. Learning academic skills and social skills creates a commonality between children in spite of their learning and/or developmental differences.

When children have something in common, it helps them to build friendships. Learning a new skill or concept also gives a child a sense of accomplishment and joy. 

Every accomplishment, whether big or small, shows the child that they can when too many in the world have told them that they can’t. These confidence-building successes will ultimately bring about improvements in various areas of the child’s life.
