Immersive Reality - Virtual Reality Simulations

Virtual reality (VR) offers many incredible opportunities when it comes to making learning and experiences more accessible for people with disabilities. The unique shared space provides multidimensional sensory experiences which are accessible for all.

These include navigating the London underground, going shopping, getting a bus and boarding an aircraft. The space allows pupils to get used to different experiences in a safe environment, before trying them ‘in the flesh’.

Pupils can develop confidence and familiarity with environments that they may perceive as daunting or threatening. Because the simulations can be practiced with someone they trust, these ‘scary’ situations can be trialled and tested in a safe, secure and familiar environment.

Our simulations help the development of many key life skills, including
navigation skills, social skills, time keeping and decision making, amongst many others.

The experiences provided by the room mean that preparing pupils for the real world is made easier through experiencing new situations in a safe and familiar environment. We are currently developing more simulations, to ensure there is something for everyone to take part in!
