Frequently Asked Questions
What is virtual reality?
The easiest way to explain virtual reality or “VR” is through your senses. Imagine you’re at the seaside. How do you know you’re by the ocean?
The answer is through using your senses. You can see the water, hear the waves, feel the sand…
Virtual reality works in exactly the same way! You’re presented with information that your senses tell your brain are reality. The only difference is that this information is provided through technology. So instead of standing on a real beach, you’ll see a 360° or video of the ocean, hear a recording of the waves, but it feels like you are actually there.

How can VR support SEND learners?
Virtual Reality is a powerful tool for supporting SEND learners when used within the education sector.
Virtual Reality allows SEND students to learn and explore new situations within a safe, controlled environment helping reducing anxiety about exploring new placing and increasing confidence in handling immersive tasks.
VR offers a new approach to learning that goes beyond a textbook, creating a multi-sensory learning experience where sight, sound make lessons more engaging and abstract concepts easier to grasp.
For students with sensory processing needs, VR can provide calming, structured environments that help regulate emotions before returning to classroom learning.
What types of SEND can benefit from VR?
Virtual Reality can support a wide range of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities by offering immersive, personalised, and low-pressure learning environments.
Here’s a breakdown of the types of SEND that can benefit most:
- Autism Spectrum Conditions – ClassVR offers role-play scenarios to help develop social and communication skills, along with sensory immersive scenes to support emotional regulation.
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder – increase focus and attention in lessons by using immersive content that’s engaging and interactive.
- Speech, Language and Communication Needs – visual prompts and immersive storytelling aid language development, VR has also been proven to encourage expressive and receptive communication.
- Physical Disabilities – VR enables access to new environments and experiences that may be physically inaccessible, like safaris and mountain tops.
- Social, Emotional, and Mental Health – calming sensory experiences to lower stress and anxiety.
Can VR be used in group settings?
Yes! ClassVR can be used in both individual and group settings. Our headsets are available in sets of 4, 8, or 30 to suit different classroom needs.
