Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) represent one of the most prevalent developmental disorders among children with different level of impairments in social relationships, communication and imagination. In addition, impaired movement is also observed in individuals with ASD and recent studies consider this factor as a limitation for fully engagement in the social environment. In the present work, we propose a new approach to promote postural education in autistic children with the involvement of a humanoid social robot and the therapist in a triadic interaction environment to better understand their motor development and body consciousness.
