The Impact of Virtual Reality on Perception in Children with Autism

Abstract

In recent years, the utilization of virtual reality (VR) technology as an intervention strategy to assist individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has gained significant attention. VR technology provides a unique opportunity to create controlled, immersive environments that can be tailored to accommodate and modulate sensory input.However, current research on the use of VR for ASD individuals is not yet sufficient. Therefore, this study aims to bridge the gap between the constantly evolving field of VR technology and the pressing needs of children with ASD by exploring the influence of virtual reality on perception. The study begins by providing a detailed analysis of the current research status of ASD. It then investigates the therapeutic effects of VR for individuals with ASD, analyzing the impact of VR on their sensory and environmental experiences. Furthermore, challenges and considerations related to virtual reality interventions are further discussed. In conclusion, the study provides a summary and outlook of the findings.
