What if video games could do more than entertain?

In this episode of Practitioner's Perspectives in Autism Care, Dr. Kyle shares the story of how a speech therapist sparked a question that would shape more than 13 years of research and development:

"Could we use video games as a form of therapy?"

The conversation explores how color, sound, movement, visual tracking, and nature-inspired environments may influence regulation and brain function. Dr. Kyle explains the science behind rhythmic movement, cranial nerve stimulation, visual receptors in the eye, and why certain sensory experiences can have a calming effect on the nervous system.

You'll also hear how practitioners have incorporated these concepts into therapy, why nature plays such a powerful role in regulation, and how these principles have been translated into interactive games that families can access both in clinical settings and at home.

Whether you're a parent, practitioner, or simply curious about the intersection of neuroscience, autism, and technology, this episode offers a fascinating look at an unconventional approach to supporting regulation and development.
