MILO IN THE FIELD 

CREATING LASTING CHANGE FOR

STUDENTS WITH ASD

It is time to accept and embrace evidence-based, research informed, and results proven
instruction! Despite the best efforts of educators, therapists, and paras working with students
on the Autism spectrum, advancements in social-emotional learning (SEL), as well as
effective use of innovative technology, has not achieved the same impact or effect as with their
non-disabled peers. Many students with ASD are still receiving basic behavior training and
reinforcement that might help them get through the day, but won’t adequately prepare equip
them for everyday life, let alone life after school.

Those who work with students on the autism spectrum do everything they can to provide
high-quality, one-on-one instruction that helps students develop social skills and spend more
class time engaging and learning. With the recent data from the CDC, which moved the
number of children in the U.S. with autism from 1 in 68 to 1 in 59, this kind of robust
intervention is more important than ever. However, tight budgets, limited resources, and staff
constraints make this difficult to accomplish. Educators and specialists around the world have
found an answer to this dilemma through Milo and robots4autism.
