Summary

This study tests whether playing a virtual reality game called Electrical Maze can improve sustained attention in neurodivergent children aged 9 to 18, including those with autism, ADHD, or learning differences. Over 6 weeks, 40 participants will play the VR game twice a week for 25 minutes each session. Researchers will measure changes in attention using eye-tracking and a standard attention test.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Virtual reality game (Electrical Maze)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a fun, non-drug way to help neurodivergent children improve their focus and attention skills.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 participants and no control group, so results may not apply widely. The VR game may not lead to lasting improvements.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Clinical diagnosis of ASD, ADHD, SLD, or DCD confirmed by a licensed clinician or documented in medical/educational records (DSM-5 or equivalent). * Parent/guardian consent and participant assent (age-appropriate). * Ability to follow simple verbal instructions and to participate in 25-minute VR sessions twice weekly for 6 weeks. * Stable medication regimen for attention- or behavior-related medications for ≥4 weeks prior to baseline (or not taking such medications). * Visual and auditory ability adequate for VR tasks (with or without usual corrective lenses/hearing aids). * Availability to attend all scheduled sessions at the clinical site across the 6-week period. Exclusion Criteria: * History of photosensitive epilepsy or any uncontrolled seizure disorder. * Severe intellectual disability or severe communication impairment that prevents understanding/participation (e.g., non-responsive to simple commands required by the VR tasks). * Severe visual, auditory, or motor impairment that prevents safe or functional use of the VR system (e.g., inability to hold controllers or view the headset even with correction). * Recent (within 6 months) significant brain injury or neurosurgery. Significant history of motion sickness, severe vestibular disorder, or prior intolerance to immersive VR. * Any medical or implanted device contraindicated for VR/headset use (if applicable).
