Abstract

This chapter is a survey of the application areas of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies in the education and behavioral therapies for children and young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This survey includes the most recent successful applications of social skill training through VR and AR for ASD populations. VR and AR technologies are rapidly increasing in popularity and availability due to the improved affordability and availability of high-performance devices. This chapter provides an overview of some of the most recent devices and tools that could be of use for educational and social skill development purposes.
