Virtual Reality for Job Training

This project examines the use of virtual reality for job-training people with autism. Here we examine several aspects of job training such as developing the soft skills and the hard skills of the trainees. Additionally, our efforts primarily focus on developing tools for job coaches and integrating these tools directly into the job training curricula.
