Interactive virtual reality case studies consist of several branched segments allowing students to interact freely with the virtual patients and their families while attempting to determine if a speech and language impairment is present.
Students will be provided with a basic case history of the virtual patient prior to entering VICSR. A designated instructor will be seated at the instructor station so that they can control the responses and behaviors of the VR patient/family. Interactions with the virtual patients and their families are determined by the questions and behaviors derived from the student in the simulator.
Once the student feels that they have obtained all necessary background information, the student will complete a more in-depth analysis of the case by determining appropriate diagnostic assessment protocol and administering a thorough diagnostic battery. After the evaluation process, students will determine an appropriate diagnosis and consult with the VR patient and family regarding treatment options.
Digital tracking capabilities and biometric feedback data will be recorded throughout the virtual experience for student performance feedback and measurement of immersion.
