We are thrilled to announce an innovative new service at Sunderlin Behavioral: Virtual Reality (VR) Therapy! Through our exciting partnership with CatapalloVR, Inc., we now offer VR therapy to support clients aged 12 and up with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities. This modern, immersive therapy approach combines state-of-the-art VR technology with personalized, evidence-based behavioral support, bringing a new dimension to our Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services.
What is VR Therapy?
In VR Therapy, clients can practice real-world skills in a simulated, safe, and controlled environment. Each session is directly supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to ensure that the experience is tailored to the individual client’s goals. This innovative approach enables clients to work on critical life skills, manage social situations, and handle transitions—all while receiving real-time feedback from their therapist.
Benefits of VR Therapy for Clients
Our VR Therapy offers multiple benefits, making it an ideal tool for skill development, confidence-building, and independent functioning:
- Generalization of Skills
Clients have the opportunity to practice scenarios they encounter in daily life, allowing them to generalize the skills learned in therapy to real-world environments. This step is crucial for developing lasting, functional skills.
- Safe and Supportive Exposure Therapy
Clients who experience anxiety in specific situations—such as crowded places, public interactions, or transitions between tasks—can work through these experiences in a low-pressure, virtual setting.
- Engaging and Motivating Experience
The interactive nature of VR is inherently motivating and can hold clients’ attention, making each session both effective and enjoyable.
- Immediate Professional Feedback
Each VR session is tailored to the client’s specific needs, with licensed BCBAs providing real-time feedback. This structure helps improve therapy outcomes, ensuring that clients make progress towards their personal goals.
Why Choose VR Therapy?
Virtual Reality Therapy represents a fresh, engaging way to support clients in building real-world skills. Our focus is always on empowering clients to develop independence, manage social situations, and navigate their environments confidently. With VR Therapy, we are combining cutting-edge technology with the deep expertise of our BCBAs, providing a safe, supportive space for clients to practice skills that can transform their everyday lives.
