dcterms.abstract | Purpose The purpose of the study was to develop and test a virtual reality application designed to put the participants “in the
shoes” of an autistic person during a routine task.
Method The study involved a randomized controlled trial that included 103 participants recruited from a technical college.
Each participant responded to three questionnaires to measure attitudes, knowledge, and openness toward autism. Prior to
responding to these questionnaires, the participants in the experimental group also completed an 8-min virtual reality simulation designed by the research team in collaboration with autistic individuals.
Results The participants who completed the virtual reality simulation reported better attitudes, more knowledge, and higher
openness toward autism than the participants in the control group.
Conclusion The results of the study suggest that virtual reality simulations are promising tools to raise awareness about
autism. | |
