Yenioglu, Busra Yilmaz; Ergulec, Funda; Yenioglu, Samed – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
The use of technology in special education has been rapidly increased in recent years. Augmented reality (AR) is one of these technologies that combines real world and virtual objects together. AR has the potential to be used as a teaching technique for students with special needs to develop their daily lives skills, supporting learning,…

Jingying Chen; Junlin Hu; Kun Zhang; Xiao Zeng; Yuhao Ma; Wenrui Lu; Kai Zhang; Guangshuai Wang – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Virtual reality (VR) technology has shown great potential on intervention of social skills for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This review aimed to review the application of VR in current social skills intervention targeting autistic children and evaluate its effect. After searching and screening three databases, we found 20 papers…

I -Jui Lee; Hsiu-Ting Hsu – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) involves social skills deficits, hindering effective communication and meaningful relationships. Prior research indicates that Augmented Reality (AR) games appeal to children with ASD for learning social skills but lack a structured framework and clear instructions for grasping social concepts. Therefore, this…

Moon, Jewoong; Ke, Fengfeng – Interactive Learning Environments, 2021
This mixed-method study explored the treatment integrity of virtual reality (VR)-based social skill training for children with high-functioning autism (HFA). In this study, we designed a VR-based social skills training environment using Opensimulator. Data were collected through screen recordings and behavioral observations of HFA children's…

Robinson, Kate E.; Allen, Peter J.; Quail, Michelle; Beilby, Janet – Interactive Learning Environments, 2020
Effective communication is a generic competency essential to clinical practice. However, access to work-integrated placements where such competencies are traditionally developed is diminishing, compelling universities to develop supplementary placement opportunities in the form of simulated learning environments (SLE). Virtual or digital patient…

Lee, I-Jui – Interactive Learning Environments, 2021
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often find it difficult to communicate using body language and facial expressions to respond appropriately socially. This negatively affects the quality of their everyday social life. Children with ASD can learn to socially interact with virtual three-dimensional (3D) characters in animated games…
