Overview
Brief Summary
Intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are often co-occurring neurodevelopmental disorders that require composite intervention. However, standardized rehabilitation programs presented several limitations due to behavioral problems and poor engagement in proposed activity. The Virtual Reality Rehabilitation System (VRRS) is a medical device is recognized as one of the most advanced systems to rehabilitate patients with motor, cognitive, linguistic and behavioral disorders. The use of VRRS offers the opportunity to adapting task parameters according to the patient's performance and the virtual system increases engagement and avoids boredom and frustration. the patients underwent a two months experimental intervention integrated into the regular activity of a semi-residential center for autistic adolescents and young adults.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Virtual Reality Rehabilitation System (VRRS) electromedical device parameters: screen attention time
Time Frame: T0 (BASELINE) -T1 (SIX MONTHS)
During the execution of the exercise, the attention time maintained on the screen was recorded.
Virtual Reality Rehabilitation System (VRRS) electromedical device parameters: the number of repetitions of the exercises.
Time Frame: T0 (BASELINE) -T1 (SIX MONTHS)
During the execution of the exercise, the number of repetitions of the exercises was recorded
Usability questionnaire
Time Frame: T0 (BASELINE) - T1 (SIX MONTHS)
The questionnaire used a 5-point ordinal scale, where 5 is the most favorable score and 1 is the least favorable score; the score 3 corresponds to "no opinion". The questionnaire will be completed by all therapists at the end of the treatment.
Virtual Reality Rehabilitation System (VRRS) electromedical device parameters:global scores for exercise.
Time Frame: T0 (BASELINE) -T1 (SIX MONTHS)
The total scores obtained were recorded during the execution of the exercise.
