About
Flavia Lecciso is a leading researcher in developmental psychology, with a primary focus on autism spectrum conditions (ASC) and the role of technology in socio-emotional learning. Her work bridges clinical psychology and human-robot interaction, particularly investigating how children with ASC process and express emotions. In her highly cited 2021 study, Lecciso explored the efficacy of robot-based versus computer-based training for improving facial emotion recognition and expression in autistic children, finding that robotic platforms may offer unique advantages in engagement and social cue learning. This pre-study, which has garnered 37 citations, represents a significant contribution to the growing field of assistive technology for neurodiverse populations. Beyond this work, Lecciso’s research portfolio encompasses parent-child attachment, mental health in developmental disabilities, and the psychological impact of chronic illness. Her interdisciplinary approach has made her a respected voice in both academic and clinical communities, and her findings continue to inform the design of more effective, technology-enhanced interventions for children with autism.
