Virtual reality as an educational tool: new horizons in the development of individuals with autism

Original language description

This article examines the potential of virtual reality (VR) as an educational tool for enhancing social skills in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). By synthesizing findings from a comprehensive review of recent studies, it highlights the effectiveness of immersive VR environments in reducing anxiety, improving communication, and fostering meaningful social interactions. The analysis includes a comparison of various approaches, such as the use of collaborative virtual environments, social stories, and avatar-based simulations, to identify best practices in leveraging VR for social skills development. Despite its promising benefits, the article addresses key limitations,including the need for repeated training, high implementation costs, and the lack of longitudinal studies. Recommendations are provided for future research and practical applications, emphasizing the role of VR as a bridge between theoretical insights and real-world practice in supporting individuals with ASD.
