Abstract

In this paper, we present a case study that analyses the potential for immersive virtual drawing to serve as an antecedent intervention in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) with the aim of helping to control off-task  behavior.  An  intervention  with  a  four-year-old  child  was  performed,  comparing  his  off-task  behavior  without any intervention, with an antecedent intervention of conventional drawing, and with another one with immersive virtual drawing. We used a single-case reversal design and a tested method to quantify the effects of the interventions. This experiment adds novel results to those of previous literature, suggesting that virtual drawing as an  antecedent  intervention  could  be  an  effective  tool  in  controlling  disruptive  and  repetitive  behavior,  helping  children with ASD to concentrate.
