abstract = {Assistive technologies in the form of humanoids have gained mileage in the area of rehabilitation, in particular, for children with various mental disabilities such as autism. The extent of the use of humanoids in augmenting these children are numerous yet, the social inclusiveness in the form of religious values, spirituality and ethics have hardly been explored. In these new and ambiguous dimensions, evidences of inclusiveness through repeated observations and interviews as well as secondary data analyses formed the hybrid methodology for this research project. The findings revealed a positive influence by humanizing humanoids in the social skill augmentation, religious and spiritual enhance of the scope. In attempting such a sensitive project, proper ethical procedures have to be in place because of the focus group. The implications of the findings are important in drafting relevant policies not just in educating the children, but to improve their quality of life, enriching the family well-being and enhance societal awareness for social inclusiveness. © 2017 The Authors.},
