Developing Virtual Reality Programs to Address Social Skills Deficits in Youth With ADHD

Researchers at OpenMindXR, in collaboration with Indiana University, are conducting a paid research study evaluating an innovative virtual reality (VR)-based intervention designed to support social and emotional skill development in children and adolescents with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Children with ADHD often experience challenges in social functioning, emotional regulation, and peer relationships. While behavioral therapies and school-based interventions can be effective, access, engagement, and real-world generalization of skills remain ongoing challenges. This study aims to evaluate the usability and preliminary effectiveness of VR programs for youth with ADHD.
