Autism Therapy with Avatars

“Regarding autism therapy with avatars,” says professional dyslexia and speech therapist Enid Webb, “I am very fortunate to be able to use Invirtua’s avatars as a different way of reaching children with significant communication difficulties, especially individuals with autism. This picture shows me controlling the facial expressions, body movements and voice of a character (some cartoons and some very life-like characters) while interacting with another person in another room. Thank you so much Gary Jesch, Dana Stamos and Invirtua for making it possible for me to use this incredible technology with my clients. It is a non-threatening way for therapists to interact and it’s fun for everyone to talk to avatars and have them talk back. The possibilities are endless!”
