Abstract

Virtual reality plays an important role in special education. Students with special needs often face challenges with social interaction and learning. It is the use of interactive simulations to allow students with disabilities to engage in environments that appear to be and feel similar to real world objects and events. Virtual environments encourage interactive learning and provide a variety of opportunities for the learner to have control over the learning process. This study reviews relevant research that explores the use of virtual reality and suggests game contents for supporting social interaction for students with disabilities.
