During the next five years, a team of researchers from UCF will work with UCP of Central Florida, a nonprofit organization and charter school system, to investigate whether artificial intelligence and robots can help elementary students with autism spectrum disorder and other disabilities be more aware of their emotions and recognize other/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115690/u2019s nonverbal cues in social situations./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115690/n

The project is funded through a $2.5 million Stepping-up Technology grant from the U.S. Department of Education/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115690/u2019s Office of Special Education Programs. The grant will be split with UCP, with UCF receiving almost $1 million. The team was selected from a national pool of applications, and only two grants were funded./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115690/n
The goal is to create a national model that can be replicated in urban, suburban and rural communities./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115690/n
/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115690/u201cFor students with autism, communication is a primary area that needs intervention.

During the first year of the study, the team will work with third- through fifth-grade students with autism spectrum disorders and other disabilities at one UCP school site in Orlando. Eventually the study will scale up to include 10 schools across Florida, including eight UCP campuses in Orange, Seminole and Osceola counties./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115690/n
In the later years of the grant, the team will work with two rural schools through their partnership with the Institute of Small and Rural School Districts./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115690/n
/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115690/u201cThe rural piece is important here because we know that the kind of technology in this project would take so long to make it out to a rural school, and even then, they wouldn/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115690/u2019t necessarily have the resources or the training or personnel locally who could help them run this,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115690/u201d says Hines./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115690/nUCF Pegasus Professor Lisa Dieker and UCF Associate Professor Rebecca Hines will work with Ilene Wilkins, CEO of UCP of Central Florida on the project, which is funded through a $2.5 million Stepping-up Technology grant from the U.S. Department of Education/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115690/u2019s Office of Special Education Programs./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115690/nHow Will the Study Work?/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115690/nThe project involves three phases. In year one, six to 10 students will work with Zoobee as the team finalizes all aspects of the artificial intelligence to help the students program the robot and monitor their facial expressions, says Lisa Dieker, a Pegasus Professor of exceptional student education, Lockheed Martin Eminent Scholar Chair and co-principal investigator on the grant./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115690/n

In the second phase, Zoobee will support students with disabilities as they coach a peer without a disability through the programming process. This second stage of the project elevates a child with autism, who may traditionally struggle with communication and emotional regulation, to the spot of a leader among their peers, explains Hines. /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115690/u201cIt/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115690/u2019s actually highly motivating for that person. It will change the dynamic in the classroom. They will be going from using those nonverbal skills initially to using even more elaborate communication skills to build relationships with other people./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115690/u201d/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115690/n

Wilkins says they/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115690/u2019re also excited to have a model that can be replicated throughout their campuses and eventually reach even more students beyond UCP of Central Florida. In addition to providing most of the sites, UCP will also prepare teachers to work with the technology for the project./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115690/n

/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/115690/u201cThis idea of creating something that can be distributed is the cornerstone of this project.
