The aim of the present study was to explore the potential of a ZORA-robot based intervention in rehabilitation and special education for children with (severe) physical disabilities from the professionals perspective. The qualitative results of this study will be presented. Professionals indicated meaningful application possibilities for ZORA. Overall, ZORA was able to improve motivation, concentration, taking initiative and attention span. Three domains could be identified to be most promising for application of ZORA: (re)learning of movement skills, cognitive skills and communication/social interaction skills.
本研究的目的是从专业人员的角度探讨基于ZORA机器人的干预措施在（重度）身体残疾儿童康复和特殊教育中的潜力。将展示本研究的定性结果。专业人员指出了ZORA有意义的应用可能性。总体而言，ZORA能够提高动机、注意力、主动性和注意力持续时间。可以确定ZORA应用最有前景的三个领域：运动技能的（再）学习、认知技能以及沟通/社交互动技能。
