www.asinteractive.org.uk; www.virart.nottingham.ac.uk A series of Virtual Environments (VEs), specifically designed to allow adolescents and adults with high-functioning autism and Asperger Syndrome to practice social skills, have been trialled in a school for students with autistic spectrum disorders. We have taken a qualitative approach to exploring how these programmes might be used to augment traditional teaching practices in a real school. By configuring the VR hardware in different ways and using the programs with various student-teacher combinations we have been able to observe how the VEs are used and to make recommendations as to how they may be modified so they better support teachers and students needs. 1.
