Abstract
This chapter explores the integration of virtual reality (VR) as a transformative tool in pediatric neuropsychology, focusing on cognitive, emotional, and social development from infancy to adolescence. Examines the theoretical foundations underpinning VR interventions, including neuroplasticity, cognitive development theories, and immersive learning.Highlights VR applications in attention enhancement, executive functioning, memory rehabilitation, and social skills training, with particular emphasis on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI). he chapter addresses the role of VR in pain management and anxiety reduction, providing evidence from clinical and research-based studies. Key challenges, such as accessibility, cost, and sustained engagement, are analyzed, alongside future directions that involve the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), biofeedback, and home-based VR therapies. By presenting current research and identifying areas for growth, the chapter underscores the potential of VR to reshape therapeutic practices in pediatric neuropsychology.
