Abstract:
The feasibility and effectiveness of the QT-Robot therapy robot for the treatment of child and adolescent psychiatric patients compared to healthy controls in two training conditions (therapist vs. robot) is the subject of our QT study. The focus is on children aged 6-10 years with autism spectrum disorders and social anxieties. For these patient groups, interpersonal contact with adults and peers presents a challenge. In therapist-led sessions for training social and emotional skills, the child’s social anxiety or emotional tension can hinder the success of the training. QT-Robot aids in learning emotional and social skills in a playful and simplified manner.
