Summary

Intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are often co-occurring neurodevelopmental disorders that require composite intervention. However, standardized rehabilitation programs presented several limitations due to behavioral problems and poor engagement in proposed activity. The Virtual Reality Rehabilitation System (VRRS) is a medical device is recognized as one of the most advanced systems to rehabilitate patients with motor, cognitive, linguistic and behavioral disorders. The use of VRRS offers the opportunity to adapting task parameters according to the patient's performance and the virtual system increases engagement and avoids boredom and frustration. the patients underwent a two months experimental intervention integrated into the regular activity of a semi-residential center for autistic adolescents and young adults.

Conditions

• Autism Spectrum Disorder
• Intellectual Disability

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Rehabilitation with VRRS	The patients underwent an experimental intervention lasting two months (9 sessions lasting about 40 minutes) integrated into the regular activity of a semi-residential center for autistic adolescents and young adults. The proposed exercises were 2D and the patient interacted with the scenarios through the touch screen. For all participants, the tasks were the same, but difficulty and duration varied according to the needs and goals to be achieved.
