Abstrakt: The purpose of this paper is to describe a possible methodology for developing joint attention skills in students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). A humanoid robot interacts with a student by playing simple games designed to foster the student's joint attention skills. Twenty-minute sessions conducted twice weekly during the school year are video recorded and analyzed for joint attention. We tabulate the results and infer that robot therapy may be a viable method to improve communication skills in individuals identified with ASD. The particular student of this pilot study is motivated by working with a humanoid robot. After we tabulate the baseline results, we formulate additional research questions that could be answered by further analysis of the data, which comprises the main contribution of this paper to the literature on co-robot therapy for children with ASD.
