Abstract
This paper discusses the preliminary findings on how collaborative robotics projects increase social interactions with students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). A single subject methodology using an alternating treatments design, was employed to compare the effects of collaborative robotics projects on social interactions with two middle school participants with ASD. Findings suggest that various environmental factors influence the duration of peer interaction for both participants with ASD.
