The purpose of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) to improve job reentry skills in individuals with TBI.
The current study will examine a virtual reality (VR) intervention entitled "Virtual Reality Job Interview Training (VR-JIT)" which targets social competency skills needed for successful job interviewing, and its efficacy when applied to individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Preliminary evidence suggests that the VR-JIT is successful in individuals with autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia in improving interview abilities. However, the efficacy of VR-JIT has not been evaluated in TBI populations.
