Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This paper outlines a study protocol evaluating a home-based virtual reality application designed to support behavioral therapy for children aged 4–13 with selective mutism. The research employs a single-case experimental design involving 15 participants to assess the feasibility, usability, and preliminary effects of combining school-based treatment with immersive VR exercises at home. The resource is intended for clinicians and researchers interested in the methodological development and initial testing of this adjunctive technology.
