Virtual Reality for Autism
Transform struggles into triumphs through the groundbreaking synergy of virtual reality and online Autism therapy.
XRHealth is a new type of online therapy for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). AHPRA registered psychologists, physiotherapists and occupational therapists combine evidence-based therapies with innovative virtual reality to deliver exceptional care.
Psychologists at XRHealth utilise immersive virtual reality environments in a telehealth setting to create therapeutic experiences for autistic individuals. This innovative approach helps enhance emotional regulation, social connection and communication skills, and overall well-being by providing engaging and supportive settings for therapy.
Physiotherapists and occupational therapists commonly see Autistic people who have low muscle tone, reduced coordination, hypermobility, reduced strength and/or endurance. At XRHealth, our physios utilise Virtual Reality in a fun and therapeutic way to improve in those areas.

How does VR differ from traditional methods?
In contrast to in-person sessions, online autism therapy allows you to engage in therapeutic activities from the comfort of your own space, eliminating the need to travel to the therapy office.
Virtual reality leverages immersive experiences to enhance traditional therapeutic methods. By transporting individuals to controlled virtual environments, it offers a unique and impactful way for therapists to help individuals with autism learn and practice new skill in therapy.
Is VR for Autism suitable for individuals with no experience in using VR devices?
Yes. Individuals do not need any prior experience with VR devices to engage successfully in virtual reality therapy. Whether you’re familiar with technology or new to these devices, our program is accessible to individuals of all experience levels, ensuring everyone can tap into the therapeutic potential of virtual reality.
