Virtual Reality (VR) has now emerged as an efficacious tool in many areas of assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation in children and adults!
Join Albert “Skip” Rizzo as he walks you through how VR technology creates controllable, multisensory, interactive 3D stimulus environments while offering clinical assessment and intervention options that are not possible using traditional methods. This session provides exemplars of how VR can be used across a range of childhood health conditions including Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Cerebral Palsy, sensorimotor impairments, and more! The capacity of VR to create emotionally evocative and cognitively engaging embodied experiences makes knowledge of its use in clinical care essential for 21st Century clinicians!
This online program is worth 1.5 hours CPD.

Albert “Skip” Rizzo, PhD, is a clinical psychologist and Director of Medical Virtual Reality at the University of Southern California Institute for Creative Technologies. He is also a Research Professor with the USC Dept. of Psychiatry and at the USC Davis School of Gerontology. Over the last 25 years, Skip has conducted research on the design, development and evaluation of Virtual Reality systems targeting the areas of clinical assessment, treatment and rehabilitation across the domains of psychological, cognitive and motor functioning in both healthy and clinical populations. This work has focused on PTSD, TBI, Autism, ADHD, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke and other clinical conditions. Some of his recent work has involved the creation of artificially intelligent virtual human (VH) patients that novice clinicians can use to practice skills required for challenging diagnostic interviews and for creating online virtual human healthcare guides, and clinical interviewers with automated sensing of facial, gestural, and vocal behaviors useful for inferring the state of the user interacting with these virtual human entities. In spite of the diversity of these clinical R&D areas, the common thread that drives all of his work with digital technologies involves the study of how interactive and immersive Virtual Reality simulations can be usefully applied to address human healthcare needs beyond what is possible with traditional 20th Century tools and methods.
