“…This finding is inline with other research that indicates when presented with multiple modalities, children with autism tend to respond to one sensory channel and ignore the rest, due to sensory overload [6]. In VR, we can manipulate the type and strength of of sensory input and in turn give that control over to the user, as seen in [4]. We aim to support a neurodiverse set of children by enabling the self-regulation of their environment.…”

We co-designed paper prototype dashboards for virtual environments for three children with diverse sensory needs. Our goal was to determine individual interaction styles in order to enable comfortable and inclusive play. As a first step towards an inclusive virtual world, we began with designing for three sensory-diverse children who have labels of neurotypical, ADHD, and autism respectively. We focused on their leisure interests and their individual sensory profiles. We present the results of co-design with family members and paper prototyping sessions conducted by family members with the children.

“…The Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research community has begun to address this issue through the development of dedicated VR systems for disabled people -largely, but not exclusively, as a medically driven corrective experience (cf. for example, [16,27,36,44]). In the context of physical disability, previous work has explored accessibility issues experienced by people with limited mobility [28,42].…”

Virtual Reality (VR) holds the promise of immersing people in virtual worlds. However, initial work on the relationship between VR and disability suggests that VR is a body-centric technology that poses barriers for disabled users. We supplement this work with a theoretical analysis of immersive VR through the lens of Surrogate Body theory, a concept from media theory for the structured examination of interactive media in use. Leveraging Critical Disability Studies, particularly the theory of the Minority Body, we explore the assumptions about bodies inherent in VR, and we reflect on implications of these assumptions when disabled people engage with the technology. Our findings show that VR is an inherently ableist technology that assumes a 'corporeal standard' (i.e., an 'ideal', non-disabled human body), and fails to adequately accommodate disabled people. We conclude with implications for HCI research on VR, and discuss design approaches that foster inclusive technology development.

The study aimed to know The Effectiveness of One-To-One Instruction Strategies on Improving the Academic, Social, and Functionality of Children with Autism. The method used was qualitative analysis. Articles published were selected and analyzed. The results showed that From the qualitative studies of the methodology, it is evident that the one-to-one instructional strategies indeed affected social skills and academic What about Functionality of Children with Autism. In light of the results, the study suggested some recommendations.
