Summary:
Scientific technology is increasingly developing, and the application of virtual reality in education for children with disabilities generally and children with autism spectrum disorders particularly is also increasing enormously. By reviewing 18 studies that have been published in prestigious international journals between 2013 and 2022, it is found that 1) most of the studies bring good results, users are satisfied and well adapted to virtual reality software; 2) studies aimed at supporting social skills education for children with autism spectrum disorders are focused more than ones in other fields; 3) several studies have shown that the application of virtual reality should also be applied together with other therapies for optimal effectiveness; 4) in order to confirm the effectiveness clearly, studies on large samples and longer duration are needed. Then, the paper proposes that there should be studies on building or applying existing virtual reality software in the education of children with autism spectrum disorders in Vietnam.
