Are you a parent, educator, clinician, or therapist of kids ages 8-13 with a diagnosis of autism and/or ADHD in the Greater Boston area? We are researchers at Northeastern University studying the ethics of XR (extended reality) technologies (like VR headsets and PokémonGo) for neurodivergent children who need your help! Participate in a one-time 90-minute in person focus group where you’ll play with an XR game, watch videos about XR, and have a group discussion about your opinions.
