About This Project

This project aims to support children with autism spectrum disorder through an innovative virtual reality application focused on physical education and motor skills development. Our VR application provides an engaging, safe, and structured environment where children can practice and develop essential physical and social skills at their own pace.

This project is funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union. The application brings together educators, researchers, and specialists from multiple European countries to create evidence-based tools that enhance learning outcomes for children with autism. eTwinning is used within the project as a supportive digital platform for blended learning activities, peer exchange among teachers, and dissemination of project outcomes.

We warmly invite educators, researchers, and institutions interested in autism education and VR applications to collaborate with us through eTwinning. Join our TwinSpace to share experiences, exchange best practices, and contribute to improving educational outcomes for children with autism spectrum disorder.
