Quasi-experimental trial demonstrates improved social communication in children with autism, indicating VR's potential in intervention strategies.

Significant improvements in social communication and motivation were found after a gamified VR intervention, enhancing outcomes for children with autism.
The Social Responsiveness Scale results showed a p-value of 0.001 for social communication, suggesting robust positive changes due to the intervention.
Using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control design, the study involved 33 participants aged 6–12, aiming to measure real-world skill enhancements.
Despite these improvements, some measures did not yield significant changes, highlighting variability, with calls for further research and larger sample sizes.

Julrode et al. (2025) studied this question.
