The use of robotics in the education of students with special educational needs

Abstract

The increasing number of children with special needs requires the improvement of methods in education by reducing the barriers to learning. Some research conducted on students with special needs concluded that students were ready to plan, initiate, and continue even a difficult project. In this sense technology can offer all students new possibilities, possibilities to learn and practice various important cognitive and social skills. There are indications that children with Special Educational Needs, with the help of educational robotics, have managed to maintain their attention and increase their participation in the educational process.
