Abstract

The current study aims to analyze virtual reality-based assistive technology to help autistic students know the school environment during the COVID-19 pandemics. This research study goes through three stages: determining the research focus’s scope, determining the urgency and novelty of the research, and determining the formulation and research objectives. A total of twelve journal articles from 2002-2020 with appropriate topics. This literature study was collected through the Google Scholar database. As a result, virtual reality-based assistive technology can help autistic students understand the actual school environment. Introduction through virtual media is beneficial for students during this pandemic. In addition, this media can help autistic students in improving cognitive, communication, and social skills with controlled, safe, and fun situations. Virtual reality-based media can adjust the characteristics and abilities of autistic students, such as using a user design approach, namely contextual design, participation, and ease of access. In addition, using structured commands, letting autistic children feel in control of the use of the media, can provide a sensory experience to students, make their eyes focus, and use their whole body to use it.
