The effect of using video modeling with virtual reality glasses to develop social adaptation skills for people with mild intellectual disabilities in Jeddah

The aim of this study was to know the effect of using Video Modeling with Virtual Reality Glasses, to develop social adjustment skills for people with minor intellectual disabilities, the study sample consisted of six participants with minor intellectual disability.
The tools of the study were: The Fainland Scale of Adaptive Behavior, a note card designed and built according to the nature of the current study to include closed-ended questions, and open-ended questions.
The quasi-experimental approach of one group was used in pre and post measurement, in addition to the descriptive approach based on the case study of the participants.
The modeling videos were prepared and implemented within the sample needs obtained through the Feinland scale pre measurement of adaptive behavior, implicitly excluding the adaptive behavior identified in the present study (daily life skills - socialization skills).
The experiment was carried out through individual sessions where each session included: Watching the video in the (Gear VR) virtual reality camera, dialogue and discussion, behavioral training and recording notes.
The results of the study showed that there were statistically significant differences at the level of (0.05) between the two averages of the pre and post measurement levels for some of the daily life skills of all participants in favor of the post-measurement. There were also statistically significant differences at the level of significance (0.05) between the two averages of the pre and post measurement levels for some socialization skills for all participants in favor of the post-measurement. The results of the averages showed the development of adaptive behavior skills in all participants.
