Summary

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) to improve job reentry skills in individuals with TBI.

Detailed description

The current study will examine a virtual reality (VR) intervention entitled "Virtual Reality Job Interview Training (VR-JIT)" which targets social competency skills needed for successful job interviewing, and its efficacy when applied to individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Preliminary evidence suggests that the VR-JIT is successful in individuals with autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia in improving interview abilities. However, the efficacy of VR-JIT has not been evaluated in TBI populations.
