Supportive houses as a home classroom for people with autism to build their independent living
This project aims to develop the Houses4Autism Educational Toolkit including a Curriculum & Handbook and a VR interactive game to increase the knowledge, skills, and key competencies of adult educators to train individuals with autism and help them through simulations of creating environments at home on the one hand, and following everyday living situations on the other, to develop their daily living skills and live independently without the support of their parents or guardians, nurses’ or carers’ supervision.
