Enhance emotional and Social Adaptation skills for children with autism spectrum disorder: A virtual reality enabled approach
Computers and Education, 2018Co-Authors: Horace H. S. Ip, Simpson W.l. Wong, Dorothy F.y. Chan, Julia Byrne, Vanessa S.n. Yuan, Kate S.y. Lau, Chen Li, Joe Y.w. WongAbstract:Deficits in Social-emotional reciprocity, one of the diagnostic criteria of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), greatly hinders children with ASD from responding appropriately and adapting themselves in various Social situations. Although evidences have shown that virtual reality environment is a promising tool for emotional and Social Adaptation skills training on ASD population, there is a lack of large-scale trials with intensive evaluations to support such findings. This paper presents a virtual reality enabled program for enhancing emotional and Social Adaptation skills for children with ASD. Six unique learning scenarios, of which one focuses on emotion control and relaxation strategies, four that simulate various Social situations, and one that facilitates consolidation and generalization, are designed and developed with corresponding psychoeducation procedures and protocols. The learning scenarios are presented to the children via a 4-side immersive virtual reality environment (a.k.a., half-CAVE) with non-intrusive motion tracking. A total number of 94 children between the ages of 6–12 with clinical diagnosis of ASD participated in the 28-session program that lasted for 14 weeks. By comparing pre- and post-assessments, results reported in this paper show significant improvements in the project's primary measures on children's emotion expression and regulation and Social-emotional reciprocity but not on other secondary measures.

Virtual reality enabled training for Social Adaptation in inclusive education settings for school-aged children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics), 2016Co-Authors: Horace H. S. Ip, Simpson W.l. Wong, Dorothy F.y. Chan, Julia Byrne, Vanessa S.n. Yuan, Kate S.y. Lau, Chen Li, Joe Y.w. WongAbstract:The transition from kindergarten to primary school tends to be challenging for children with special needs. These children may benefit from relevant training in advance or in addition to school, yet it is challenging to support such training in an authentic, safe and controllable environment. In this paper, we present a Virtual Reality (VR) enabled system to facilitate Social Adaptation training for school-aged children with clinical or suspected diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in the inclusive education setting. Six unique VR training scenarios with corresponding training protocols are designed, implemented and being delivered to over 100 school-aged children with normal-ranged IQ (IQ > 70) via a 4-side fully immersive CAVE™ VR installation in 28 sessions (14 weeks). Preliminary results indicate that after training completion, children show significant improvements in three major designated aspects, including emotion recognition, affective expression and Social reciprocity.

home language literacy and the acculturation of recent chinese immigrant students
Bilingual Research Journal, 1996Co-Authors: Virginia M TongAbstract:Abstract The implications of an emerging cross-group identity and the acquisition of second language and culture by bilingual and bicultural students is explored in this study. The results of this research detail the importance of home language and culture as it affects the Social Adaptation of new Chinese American immigrants. As these new immigrant students become part of the main society, the cultural similarities and differences characteristic of their native culture and language become evident to them. Students’ understanding of the cultural and linguistic similarities and differences between their first and second backgrounds is essential. This understanding affects how students learn about the new culture and how they interpret, acquire and produce English. The findings of the study have broad implications about the bicultural and bilingual experiences of individuals across cultures.

improvements in morbidity of mouth cancer using microvascular free flap reconstructions
Journal of Cranio-maxillofacial Surgery, 1992Co-Authors: Eugene David Vaughan, Roger Bainton, Ian C MartinAbstract:Summary 50 patients who underwent major surgery for head and neck cancer and reconstructed with radial forearm microvascular free flaps, were assessed with regard to Social Adaptation, appearance and in particular mouth function. The results were compared with a similar group of patients who underwent reconstruction with either primary repair or pedicled flaps.
