Abstract
Previous interventions have proven that the use of robots in Special Education (SE) is beneficial for children, producing an increase in engagement and goal achievement. However, the use of robots rarely continues after the relevant study ends. In this paper we analyse previous studies that used robots in SE and interviews with SE teachers to obtain their views regarding reasons for lack of uptake of this technology. We propose a solution based on the use of a user-centred design approach for all components of the system, including methods of interaction, learning activities, and the most suitable type of robots.
