Over 400 districts work with RoboKind's CASE-endorsed program which includes facially-expressive robots and an SEL curriculum based on a multidisciplinary developmental behavioral approach, leveraging speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, applied behavioral analysis (ABA) principles, and developed with the assistance of subject-matter experts, professionals, and educators.

EPISODE 29: Friendly Robot Helps Children with Autism With Dr. Greg Firn, COO, RoboKind   INTRO: Many children and adults on the autism spectrum need help in learning how to act in different types of social situations. They often have the desire to interact with others, but may not know how to engage friends or may be overwhelmed by the idea of new experiences.   Today’s guest is Dr. Greg Firn, the Chief Operating Officer for RoboKind. The focus at RoboKind has been to help children with autism learn critical social and behavioral skills and achieve academic success by way of purpose-built humanoid robots that deliver developmental instruction modules that teach critical functional skills. This comprehensive intervention program is called Robots4Autism. Greg’s deep experience and passion for helping under-served children has been instrumental in helping RoboKind develop the products and strategies that will successfully serve the K-12 education market.   CONCLUSION: All students, regardless of their background or ability, should be given the opportunity to realize their full potential. The future is interactive education, and thanks to our friends at RoboKind, we are on our way to engaging, enhancing, and enriching students with diverse and inclusive education. Thanks so much for being a part of My Autism Tribe. Keep up the great work, and I’ll see you next week!   ABOUT: Robots4Autism is a comprehensive intervention program that uses purpose-built humanoid robots to deliver developmental instruction modules that teach critical functional skills.
