This study examines whether picture-based communication boards can help minimally verbal autistic preschoolers initiate communication independently. Through structured play sessions, children are introduced to visual tools that may support self-expression without adult prompting. The research aims to enhance participation, language development, and autonomy by shifting children from passive observers to active communicators.

This research investigates the use of Bee-Bot, a programmable robot, to support children with autism. Structured robot-based activities aim to improve communication, social interaction, and purposeful play, while incorporating parent and teacher perspectives to assess long-term developmental and behavioral benefits.
