Study Description

Intellectual disability is recognized as one of the most prominent features of DS which is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability. Cognitive functioning often changes across the lifespan and is moderated by several comorbid factors such as sensory impairments, seizures, autism, sleep disruption, and other medical and psychiatric conditions (Grieco et al., 2015).

There is encouraging evidence supporting the use of non-immersive virtual environments to provide useful learning, rehabilitation, and leisure experiences for people with intellectual disabilities. Therefore, immersive VR applications may also be an effective way to improve motivation and engagement for children with DS in learning settings (Michalski et al., 2022). Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of full-immersive VRapeutic software gaming technology on cognitive functions of children with Down syndrome
