Summary: In this study, a single case alternating treatments design was used to examine the impact of a robot prompter on the social interaction of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The findings indicate that the presence of the robot prompter led to increased utterances and conversational turns for three participants, while two participants had more when the robot was absent. One participant had more utterances without the robot, but more conversational turns with the robot. The study discusses its limitations and provides recommendations for future research.
