About
Roula Choueiri is a dedicated researcher whose work lies at the intersection of assistive technology, pediatric psychology, and special education, with a particular focus on supporting children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Her key contributions center on the development and evaluation of innovative, play-based interventions that leverage LEGO Robotics to enhance social skills training. In her most-cited work, "Comparing two LEGO Robotics-based interventions for social skills training with children with ASD" (2013, 20 citations), Choueiri provides a rigorous comparative analysis of two distinct intervention protocols. One study was conducted within the clinical setting of the Unit of Pediatrics Psychology and Psychiatry at Hospital Sant Joan de Déu (HSJD), involving a group of 16 children. This research not only demonstrates the feasibility of integrating robotics into therapeutic contexts but also offers critical insights into the differential effectiveness of structured versus semi-structured approaches. By systematically comparing these interventions, Choueiri has helped bridge the gap between engineering and clinical practice, providing evidence-based guidelines for practitioners. Her work is a testament to the power of interdisciplinary collaboration, making her a notable figure in the field of technology-enhanced interventions for neurodevelopmental disorders.
