Overview

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

This paper presents two exploratory studies investigating the feasibility of using immersive virtual reality to support cognitive-behavioral therapy for adults with mild to borderline intellectual disabilities and substance use disorders. Study 1 identified specific alcohol-related triggers through patient interviews, while Study 2 assessed the acceptability of practicing nicotine coping strategies within a virtual environment. The resource is intended for clinicians and researchers interested in designing accessible therapeutic interventions for this population.
