SOCIAL SKILL LEARNING AND INSTRUCTION

Each social skill domain in VOISS has a classroom story, or case study student who exhibits characteristics of someone who struggles with social skills in that domain. In this section of VOISS, we have summarized all of the IEP goals being addressed across VOISS, per social skill domain.

Explore instructional methods, generalization tactics, and instructional supports that you can use to help educators facilitate student generalization of learned social skills into the classroom.

The VOISS app offers educators, students, and their families 140 social skill scenarios that teach knowledge and understanding of 10 Social Skill Domains and 183 unique social skills. VOISS is a virtual reality learning experience that features a number of support for students, educators, and families to further learn and apply social skills in the classroom and greater school setting.

The VOISS Advisor Progress Monitoring tool is the teacher’s portal into student VOISS virtual reality progress and skill attainment. Teachers can see which of the social skill domains and skills are being learned and practiced, how fast the student is moving through, how accurate their responses are, how many attempts they need to complete each scenario and how their progress matches up to the expectation the teacher established for progress to be made.

These classroom stories are case study examples of students who struggle with specific social skills within ten social skill domains. Each classroom story includes an overview of the student, their learning strengths and needs, their teacher’s perspectives, and five lesson plans that demonstrate the practice and generalization of skills learned in virtual reality into physical classrooms.
