Abstract: When implementing robot-assisted therapy (RAT) for children with autism it is not enough to simply plan for the technology that will be used. This paper elaborates on the social and ethical implications that need to be taken into consideration when working with autistic children. A particular set of protocols is presented, and we discuss how we implemented those steps in an autism study with the NAO humanoid robot.
