About
Ashley A. Green is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of inclusive education and assistive technology, best known for exploring how telepresence robots can bridge the gap for children in segregated educational settings. Her seminal work, "Beaming Children where they cannot go: Telepresence Robots and Inclusive Education: An Exploratory Study" (2011), with 13 citations, remains a foundational reference in the field. This study critically examines why, despite decades of inclusive education policies in the United Kingdom, the proportion of pupils in segregated provision has remained stubbornly unchanged. Green’s major contribution lies in demonstrating how communications technologies—specifically telepresence robots—can create new avenues for social interaction and remove traditional barriers to community participation for children with complex needs. Her research challenges educators and policymakers to rethink physical presence as a prerequisite for inclusion, offering a compelling vision of how remote embodiment can foster genuine belonging. Green’s work continues to influence both academic discourse and practical interventions in special education, making her a key voice in the ongoing effort to realize truly inclusive classrooms.
