Sessie
How can you help students with autism overcome their biggest obstacles? Virtual reality (VR) may offer a solution. In this session, you will learn about an international project that is developing innovative VR training for vocational students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
The training offers a safe, realistic and repeatable environment in which students can practise their social communication skills in group conversations. The aim is to strengthen their participation in education and their future position in the labour market.
The project partners are Zuyd University of Applied Sciences (higher professional education), UCLL (University Colleges Leuven-Limburg; higher professional education) and VISTA College (vocational education). Together, these partners form a practice-oriented, interdisciplinary consortium through Erasmus+ that focuses on innovation, inclusion and future-proof education.
