What is Learning Disabilities (LD)

In terms of technological advantages, virtual reality or augmented reality remains less popular within the field of learning disabilities. Research shows that children with learning disabilities face various challenges in their day-to-day lives dealing with these disorders, demanding massive solutions. This chapter will address the pros and cons of virtual reality in learning disabilities across different age groups by combining theories of virtual worlds and learning disorders. Exciting research in virtual reality focuses on finding out how psychotherapies have benefits in learning and education. Upon review, it becomes evident that research in the virtual world along with learning disabilities has not yet been examined from a cohesive perspective, illustrating a lack of alliance that determines a more global understanding of the technological advantages of disabilities. Thus, this chapter aims to provide educators with an overview of explanations of the virtual world and to ensure appropriate development of VR/AR applications and special assistance for learning disabilities.
