Summary
The digital age has significantly impacted the development of social skills for individuals with autism and psychological disorders, particularly through video games, VR, and mobile platforms. These games provide structured, low-pressure environments that enhance social interaction and emotional understanding. VR games, in particular, allow users to practice real-world social situations in immersive settings, improving skills like emotion recognition and eye contact. Mobile and console games, such as Minecraft, also foster teamwork and socialization. As therapeutic gaming continues to grow, developers, educators, and therapists must collaborate to create personalized, engaging games that address social skills development, offering meaningful support for those with autism.
