About

Hee‐Jeong Yoo is a leading researcher in child and adolescent psychiatry, with a primary focus on autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Her most influential work bridges behavioral intervention and robotics, exemplified by her highly cited 2017 study (151 citations) that developed a robotic behavioral intervention system for social skills training in children with ASD. This system, grounded in discrete trial teaching, targets foundational social abilities such as eye contact and facial emotion recognition. Yoo’s contributions have significantly advanced the integration of technology into therapeutic settings, offering scalable, engaging tools for ASD intervention. Her research not only demonstrates high impact through citation counts but also reflects a commitment to translating clinical insights into practical, innovative solutions. By combining rigorous behavioral protocols with robotic assistance, Yoo has opened new avenues for accessible, evidence-based support for neurodiverse children, making her work essential reading for researchers and clinicians in psychiatry, human-robot interaction, and developmental disorders.
