ABSTRACT

The purpose of the study is to review the recent literature on applying virtual reality-based intervention in the educational settings for students with autism spectrum disorders and to identify research method, intervention type, and educational effectiveness appeared in the research. The search procedures through the Web-database system were implemented to find the proper research, and a total of 12 articles were included in this review. The results indicated that most of subjects were school-age children and youth, also pre-post test design was mostly implemented. Results founded several intervention types applying virtual reality: social interaction type in collaborative virtual environments(CVE), task performance type in CVE, and social experience type in single-user virtual environments. Additionally, the results indicated that the educational effectiveness was the improvements of social interactions, social skills, social cognition, social comprehension, empathy, motivation and so on. Implications and recommendations for future research based on the results were suggested.
