本研究的目的是根据该领域的专业人士和从业人员的意见，确定治疗机器人KASPAR对自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童的治疗和/或教育目标的潜在贡献。一份在线问卷和焦点小组被应用于引出54名多学科ASD从业者对KASPAR可以促进的治疗和/或教育目标的期望。研究结果表明，专业人士期望KASPAR在“沟通”、“社会/人际互动和关系”、“游戏”等领域对自闭症谱系障碍的目标有附加价值，而且在“情绪健康”和“学前技能”相关的目标中也有附加价值。专业人士对机器人KASPAR在自闭症儿童的治疗和教育目标方面的潜在附加价值的期望创造了前10名。专业人士相信，KASPAR在干预自闭症谱系障碍儿童的广泛治疗和教育目标方面是有用的。
The aim of this study was to identify the potential contribution of therapy robot KASPAR to the therapy and/or educational goals for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) according to professionals and practitioners in the field. An online questionnaire and focus groups were applied to elicit the expectations of a group of 54 multidisciplinary ASD practitioners about therapy and/or educational goals KASPAR can contribute to. Findings indicate that professionals expect KASPAR to be of added value to ASD objectives in domains such as 'communication', 'social/interpersonal interaction and relations', and 'play', but also in objectives related to 'emotional wellbeing' and 'preschool skills'. A top 10 is created of professionals' expectations of potential added value for robot KASPAR for working on therapy and educational goals for children with ASD. Professionals are convinced that KASPAR can be useful in interventions for a broad range of therapy and education goals for children with autism spectrum disorder.
