Purpose: This study explores the trends and tasks of intervention research related to virtual reality(VR) based intervention research for school-aged children with autism spectrum disorder(ASD). Method: Among the studies published from 2010 to 2021, 23 studies(22 international, 1 Korean) were selected by specific criteria, then analyzed according to their overall research trend and the characteristics of their VR-based interventions. Results: First, participants were mainly elementary-aged and most individuals without intellectual disabilities. Second, as a research method, single-subject study was the most frequently used, and many studies did not measure maintenance/generalization. Third, the social area was the most common dependent variable. Conclusion: Based on the above research results, the discussion on VR-based intervention using virtual reality for children with ASD and the direction for future tasks were suggested.
