摘要

Virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a promising tool for enhancing motor skill training in children with special educational needs (SEN). This qualitative case study explored the perspectives and experiences of experts regarding the integration of VR technology into motor skill training for children with SEN. This study investigated VR’s perceived benefits, challenges, and adaptability of VR in supporting motor skill development in diverse educational and therapeutic settings. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 purposively sampled experts including special education teachers and occupational therapists. A thematic analysis of the interview data revealed several key themes, including the potential of VR to provide engaging, personalized, and repetitive practice opportunities; the challenges of cost, accessibility, and teacher training; and the need for adaptability to accommodate various types of SEN. The participants emphasized the importance of collaboration between educators, therapists, and technology developers in creating effective VR interventions. These findings suggest that, while VR offers unique advantages for motor skill training, its successful implementation requires careful consideration of individual needs, resource availability, and professional development.
