About
Brunilda Simaku is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of educational technology, special education, and developmental psychology. Her primary research areas include educational robotics, neurodevelopmental disorders, and the integration of assistive technologies in learning environments. Simaku’s most significant contribution is her systematic review on the use of educational robotics for children with neurodevelopmental disorders, which has garnered 69 citations. This seminal paper critically evaluates existing studies to determine whether robotic activities demonstrably improve cognitive, social, and motor skills in this population, providing a foundational resource for educators and clinicians. Additionally, her work on the acceptance of educational robotics among Italian teachers, educators, psychologists, and psychotherapists—cited 6 times—offers valuable insights into the practical barriers and facilitators of implementing such technologies in real-world settings. Through her research, Simaku bridges the gap between technological innovation and inclusive education, advocating for evidence-based practices that empower children with diverse needs. Her contributions are particularly notable for their potential to shape future interventions and policy in special education.
