A case study of social robotics addressed to students with autism in upper secondary school.

This contribution reports a case study on the usage of social robotics for students with au‐tism in upper secondary school.The methodol‐ogy used was the naturalistic observation, through which were investigated the require‐ments for a correctintroduction in educational contexts; which methods can facilitate its adoption; what learning, and socialization needs canbe addressed. As main result emerged the need to connect the use of robot‐ics within interventions related to the educa‐tional and didactic objectives of students, iden‐tified through her/his functioning profile. This contribution also outlinespossible research tra‐jectories to guide future studies on the use of social robotics in school contexts.
