Description
Research has shown that table top role playing games (RPGs) like Dungeons & Dragons can help autistic people, as the game allows people to practice social skills and interaction in a safe environment while having fun. The goal of this new research project is to determine how aware parents and providers are that games like Dungeons & Dragons can help and what their experience is like if child(ren) use such games.
