OBJECTIVE: In this study, it was aimed to examine the importance of robot use in the education of individuals with autism spectrum disorder.
METHOD: This study was designed as a literature review since it was aimed to examine the importance of the use of robots in the education of individuals with autism spectrum disorder.
RESULTS: As a result of the literature review, it was observed that robots attract the attention of individuals with autism spectrum disorder, individuals with autism spectrum disorder prefer robots instead of playing with toys, they initiate social interaction with robots more easily, and they react to the instructions or signs of robots faster than human movement and instruction.
CONCLUSIONS: The use of robots in the education of individuals with autism spectrum disorder is certain to increase in the coming years. Because robots attract the attention of individuals with autism spectrum disorder and are observed to be effective. However, some research results indicate that the use of robots in the education of individuals with autism spectrum disorder is not effective. For this reason, more research results are needed in this field.
