In recent years, educational robotics is gaining ground in the educational policy of more and more places around the world in both formal and non-formal education programs. Also, the usefulness of educational robotics in special education for the treatment of deficits of students with Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism, especially at the level of student inclusion, is strongly supported. In the present work, the findings of a pilot educational research in a general education school are presented with the participation of students with special educational needs.

This review will explore the role of executive functions and the impact they have in facilitating the skills of vehicle operation. Executive functions are critical for the decision-making process, problem-solving, and multitasking. They are considered the primary factors in driving cases that demand drivers to react quickly and adapt to certain situations. Based on the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this study aims to investigate, analyze, and categorize higher mental skills and their qualities directly related to driving. The literature review was performed in the following databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar, using the article collections’ snowball search technique. The results suggest that key executive functions like working memory and inhibitory control are closely related to risky behavior and driving errors that lead to accidents. This review adds valuable insight by highlighting the significance of their contribution to future research, driver educational programs, and technology for improving driver safety. Consequently, collecting recent data will contribute to understanding new parameters that influence driving behavior, creating the possibility for appropriate proposals for future research.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has a significant impact on a person’s social, emotional, and communication functioning. According to research, individualized instruction can significantly improve these deficits. One of the most successful methods of achieving this outcome is by gaming platforms that provide serious games (SGs). This article is a systematic review study using the PRISMA diagram that delves into current research on the characteristics and design criteria of serious gaming platforms suitable for people with autism, presenting the benefits of using serious gaming platforms and highlighting the importance of differentiated strategy and planning, as well as disadvantages such as financial cost and complexity. According to the conclusions of this analysis, the bulk of these programs focus on prototyping and strengthening social and emotional abilities. It is also emphasized that platforms aiming at a bigger audience of persons with ASD, as well as a larger sample size, are required.

The use of digital games in the educational process promotes interactivity and de-escalation of tensions, promotes active educational models, and offers new possibilities for communication, collaboration, and learning, giving the possibility of introducing the student with autism in a controlled environment that is predictable and without social stimuli to manage the concerned person’s attention and concentration in an activity. This paper aims to present the findings for the use of educational digital games in the field of special education and specifically in the education of people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
