A project aimed at families and associations involved in the protection and cognitive development of individuals with persistent deficits in communication and social interaction with repetitive behaviors and limited interests. People who, even today, have difficulties in receiving a timely diagnosis, accessing targeted therapies and who have to deal with a social fabric ill-suited to their needs. 

La palestra della quotidianità - Digital Lab is a platform that encapsulates various virtual reality experiences, thanks to which people with autism can safely experience situations and contexts that in reality are sources of stress and difficulties for them, learning how to deal with them. Virtual reality, which is already widely used therapeutically and educationally, in fact has the ability to make people experience immersive experiences firsthand and create the perception of actually living them.

The inclusion of individuals with intellectual-relational disabilities within virtual spaces and controlled situations can in fact help to:

• strengthen self-esteem;
• improve social interaction skills;
• develop the ability to work in groups;
• reduce stress and anxiety.
