Enhancing Emotion Regulation in Children With Autism Through Extended Reality

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Pilot study on the development of an Extended Reality (XR) application to support emotion regulation in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) (random assignment to an experimental group, N = 10, and a control group, N = 10). The matched control group with autistic children of the same age receives emotion regulation coaching without the use of virtual reality. Few studies systematically captured the transfer of XR-supported learning into real life. One study investigated the transfer of breathing techniques into everyday life, where children with ASD successfully transferred these techniques to daily life and applied learned breathing patterns in anxiety-inducing situations. The use of XR systems is considered as low-risk. Primary Hypotheses: * Feasibility analysis of the described XR-supported coaching * Reduced Emotional Dysregulation between T1 and T2 Secondary Hypotheses: * Reduced Parental stress between T1 and T2 * Reduced internalising/externalising behaviors between T1 and T2 * Exploratory analyses of physiological parameter changes during intervention period
