Popis: This study is one of the use cases included in the Immersive Care project. With the Immersive Care project we aim to improve wellbeing of clients/patients during treatment and/or optimize their stay in a care facility. To achieve this goal, we set up several use cases to implement different forms of immersive technology in different health care sectors, and this in collaboration with multiple health care facilities and technology companies. In this use case, we aim to assess the experience, acceptability, feasibility and tolerability of using a Virtual Reality (VR) application via a head-mounted device (VR goggles) to learn children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and young adults with intellectual disabilities to go grocery shopping, as addition to their activity schedule. To do so, participating children with ASD and young adults with intellectual disabilities - under supervision of their teacher/coach - will use the VR application for multiple weeks, will be administered multiple questionnaires and will participate in focus groups. The VR application allows users to practice different skills, such as planning, communication and independence, in a virtual world before practicing these skills in a real life situation. In this use case, we will specifically train skills related to grocery shopping.
