How does Virtual Reality in Education help kids with ADHD?

The infusion of virtual reality in education is like an unstoppable wave that is transforming thoughts in the digital learning landscape. Further to this, the positive ripples of this ‘VR in education wave’ has extended the thought process of the associated parties to solve one of the biggest problems in the country. Which is…..

How to effectively deliver education to kids with learning disabilities?

This is one of the biggest challenges the country has especially considering the fact that about 6 million kids are diagnosed with ADHD alone. Apart from this, a vast number of disorders plague the children, paving the way to deterioration in their learning abilities.

Well...Today…Virtual reality has set to wipe out the difficulties of children with learning disabilities by developing appropriate virtual reality solutions to help these kids effectively assimilate education compared to the conventional methods. Let us see how VR does that

Getting rid of diversions

This approach is set out to solve the learning problems at the most fundamental level for kids with ADHD. Eliminating the distracting factors is achieved in the VR way by implementing a fully immersive virtual reality educational solution that cuts out diversions and forces the kids to stay tuned to the educational content delivered. This deeply immersive educational content is way better compared to projector-based classes or learning through mobile phones which are cognitively fractured and loaded with diversions.

Customized learning environment

The possibility of building VR based educational solutions customized to address the students with learning disabilities is very high. Based on the analysis of the kids with learning disabilities, virtual reality product designers tweak the functionalities of learning solutions to best address their needs to achieve better accessibility and assimilation of learning content for students.

Also, companies build resourceful VR based educational content that can tend to difficulties of these kids without any tweaking.

Take a notable use case, for example, HoloPundits is an eminent technology company that specializes in designing customized AR and VR based educational content to suit multi various needs.

Its AR Guru is a collection of top-notch immersive educational courses in diverse subjects that include biology, chemistry, and physics. AR Guru offers an immersive educational experience suitable for everyone that enables the students to comprehend the educational scenarios with a 3D based observation.

Apart from AR Guru, the company has developed VirtuBod (VR based content for learning human anatomy at the cellular level) and VirtuSteel (for exploring and learning massive steel structures) specific to the specialized educational needs of medical and construction sectors respectively.

The immersive solutions developed by HoloPundits with a cohesive blend of hardware, software and the content results in an enhanced perception of content, improved engagement levels, and better cognition even for students with learning disabilities.

Learning social skills

Underdeveloped social skills are one thing that is commonly seen in kids with learning disabilities. Learning social skills through a classroom setup or through therapy may not be effective and may feel like a staged attempt to the kids. But, learning social skills through virtual reality applications that are built specifically for this purpose with real-world scenarios and feedback-based systems are way more focused on the objective and far more effective.

Rehabilitation therapy

Apart from feeding educational content to these students, the capabilities of VR are extended in treating these learning disabilities altogether.

Although the research does not back any scientific claims, they are off to a promising start in treating these disabilities. Coupling the insights from this research and customized VR based educational solutions for these students in the course of transformation can hope to nullify the effects of learning disabilities in students.
