About
Wing-Wun Law is a pioneering researcher in the field of autism intervention, with a particular focus on leveraging social robotics and drama-based approaches to support children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Law's work has made a significant contribution to understanding how technology can be harnessed to address core challenges faced by autistic children, including deficits in joint attention and narrative abilities. Among Law's most notable achievements is the 2019 study on robot-based play-drama intervention, which demonstrated promising improvements in the narrative abilities of Chinese-speaking preschoolers with ASD, accumulating 44 citations and establishing Law as a leading voice in this niche but growing field. Building on this foundation, Law's 2020 stepped wedge trial explored how robot dramas could improve joint attention in low-functioning children with ASD, garnering 17 citations. Most recently, Law's 2023 comparative study — with 19 citations — broke new ground by rigorously evaluating robot-based intervention against human-based intervention, offering critical insights for clinicians and educators. Law's research is particularly significant for its focus on Chinese-speaking populations, addressing a gap in the predominantly Western-centric autism intervention literature, and for its translational potential in real-world therapeutic settings.
