About
SeokJeong Yeon is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of special education, human-robot interaction, and assistive technology. Her work focuses on developing innovative communication interventions for children with autism spectrum disorders, particularly those with High-Functioning Autism (HFA). Yeon's most influential study, "Lexical Representation of Emotions for High Functioning Autism via Emotional Story Intervention using Smart Media" (2015, 7 citations), demonstrated how smart media platforms—including tablet PCs and robots—can effectively train children with HFA to understand and use emotional vocabulary, addressing a critical gap in social-emotional learning. Her earlier work, "Experiences and demands of early childhood teachers regarding the use of assistive robots for the communication intervention" (2013, 2 citations), laid foundational insights into educator perspectives on integrating robotic tools into classroom settings. By bridging clinical language therapy with cutting-edge technology, Yeon has advanced practical methodologies for enhancing emotional expression in neurodiverse populations. Her research not only contributes to the growing field of socially assistive robotics but also provides actionable frameworks for therapists and educators seeking evidence-based, technology-driven interventions for children with communication challenges.
