Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Both virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technology have shown potential for the instruction of people on the autism spectrum by simulating real‐world experiences in a safe and controlled environment. However, numerous reports indicate that this type of research has included few participants with intellectual disability (ID). The current scoping review included 20 studies which utilised VR/AR to teach various skills to children and youth on the autism spectrum with ID. The results indicated that the use of VR/AR interventions is a promising evidence‐based practice for children and youth on the autism spectrum with ID. Within the small number of reviewed studies, there were variabilities in study design and intervention components (e.g. identification of ID, VR/AR equipment, target skills), highlighting the need for more uniformity and consistency to improve research and practice.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
