Social Skills Training for Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder via Virtual Reality

Overview Resources

Project Overview

Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) display difficulties recognizing and interacting with behavioral expressions of emotion, a deficit that makes social interaction problematic. Social skills training is foundational to the treatment of ASD, yet this intervention is costly and time-consuming. This project will investigate the applicability of novel technology (virtual reality) to simulate real-world social interactions for youth with ASD.
