The use of technology in the classroom is nothing new, but Top cliff Primary School is breaking new ground by helping autistic(闭症的) children through robot friends. These robots can dance, play games and Tai Chi.

Dr. Goldberg, a teacher from University of Birmingham, said, "Studies show that autistic children often find computers and technology safe. So we wonder how technology can help them to communicate(交流). They are trying the robots in the classroom. The robots are teaching them right things and acting as friends."

Ian Lowe, a teacher from Top cliff Primary School, said, "The robots are very smart at helping autistic children with their learning. In the future we hope they can help with learning at home."

And the students love them. Ian teaches about 30 autistic children. Seven-year-old Joshua says he likes playing games with the robots, Max and Ben. Daniel and Kevin say they like to watch the robots dance. And Stephen says he likes it when Max tells him stories.

The teachers say the fact that the children enjoy talking about the robots shows how important they are in helping autistic children communicate.
