Eun Jung Choi

About

Eun Jung Choi is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of assistive technology, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), and special education for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Her most-cited work, "Effects of Robot and Computer-based Intervention on Learning Action Word Symbols of AAC for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder" (2016), represents a landmark contribution to the field. In this study, Choi employed an adapted alternating treatment design to compare robot-mediated and computer-based interventions for teaching action word symbols to preschool children with ASD, demonstrating that robotic platforms can significantly enhance engagement and symbol learning. This work has garnered 5 citations and has laid crucial groundwork for integrating socially assistive robots into AAC interventions. Choi’s research uniquely bridges human-robot interaction with evidence-based special education practices, offering new pathways for children with complex communication needs. Her findings have implications for both clinical practice and technology design, positioning her as a key figure in the development of innovative, child-centered assistive technologies.
