Terapia de realidad virtual
para Autism: Skills That Stick
Many autistic kids struggle to learn social and life skills, especially when the real world feels loud, busy, or full of surprises.
VR therapy creates a safe, controlled space where learners practice essential skills at their own pace.
¿Qué es la terapia de realidad virtual?
Al ponerse un casco de realidad virtual, los alumnos pueden adentrarse en entornos interactivos diseñados para enseñar habilidades como:
Learners repeat each skill as often as they need, with no pressure. That practice prepares them for the moment it happens in real life.
Studies and clinical programs point to real gains from VR learning. Autistic learners build social communication, behavior, and daily living skills.
