                                      Training socio-cognitive skills of children with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) is exploring with great interest
                                      social robots. In fact, research results show that these robots are well received by children and this opens the
                                      possibility to be adopted effectively in treating ASC. Here we show the co-design process followed to design and
                                      develop an innovative digital platform that enables interactive activities between a child with ASC and a NAO
                                      robot. Main characteristic of this process is strong collaboration and a progressive refinement of both technical
                                      and functional requirements to take into account both clinical needs and technological possibilities, with the aim
                                      of producing a platform that can show, on one side, a robust behavior and, on the other side, provide tasks that
                                      are useful and relevant for the clinics.
