In this webinar we introduce the clinic's use of virtual reality (VR) in providing therapy services such as psychology, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy. We present on the application of VR in treating autism and its co-occurring diagnoses, discussing the benefits of VR therapy, including its ability to manage sensory input, provide exposure therapy, and improve executive functioning and social skills.
The webinar hosted by Latisha Forbes, psychologist, will focus on the Circle of Security Parenting Program. The program is based on attachment theory and aims to help parents understand and respond to their children's emotional needs. The program uses a visual map to guide parents in balancing support and independence for their children. Latisha also outlines the program's eight-week structure and addresses questions on its applicability to different age groups and neurodivergent children.
The discussion is about XRHealth's use of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) for therapy, integrated within NDIS plans. VR creates a completely computer-generated environment that users can interact with via headsets and controllers equipped with sensors tracking movement. XRHealth primarily uses VR for physical, mental health, and cognitive therapy through various applications.
The webinar hosted by XRHealth introduces Ben and Tung, the lead physiotherapist. Tong discusses the common co-diagnoses and physical challenges faced by autistic individuals, such as hypermobility, low muscle tone, and decreased coordination. He explains how physiotherapy, especially using virtual reality (VR), can help address these issues.
The webinar presented by XR Health focuses on the use of virtual reality (VR) in therapy, particularly for helping autistic individuals with emotional regulation. Jamie, a psychologist, explains how VR can create safe, controlled environments for exposure therapy, sensory integration, and skills practice. They discuss effective strategies for emotional regulation, including creating a calming environment, grounding techniques, and encouraging sensory activities.
The XRHealth webinar focuses on the use of virtual reality (VR) in occupational therapy (OT) for autistic individuals. We explained how OT helps improve communication, play abilities, and daily functioning through personalized interventions. The webinar highlighted the benefits of using VR games to enhance motor skills, cognitive functions, and emotional regulation in a fun, engaging way.
The webinar sessions focuses on virtual reality (VR) in healthcare, specifically its role in managing chronic pain through physiotherapy. We highlighted the benefits of VR emphasizing its ability to provide an engaging and distraction-based therapy that can enhance traditional physiotherapy methods. We elaborated on chronic pain mechanisms, explaining how VR can help desensitize nerves and rewire the brain to manage pain better.
