[Abstract] Objective: To analyze the impact of virtual reality (VR) eye tracking technology on behavioral development in children with autism. Methods: 62 children with autism who met the inclusion criteria (January 2022 to December 2022) were selected as the study subjects, and were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group with 31 cases each. The control group used conventional intervention methods, while the observation group used VR eye tracking technology for intervention on the basis of the control group. Use the Autism Treatment Evaluation Scale (ATEC) to assess the changes in symptoms of children before and after 6 months of intervention, respectively; Use the Development Level and Simplified Parenting Stress Questionnaire (PSI-SF) to assess the developmental level of the child and the parenting pressure of their family members; Use the Childrens Autism Rating Scale (CARS) to assess the symptoms of the child. Results: After 6 months of intervention, the language/communication, social interaction, sensation/cognition, and health behavior scores of the two groups of children were lower than those before the intervention (P<0.05); And the scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). After 6 months of intervention, the two groups had lower scores of parenting distress, dysfunctional parent-child interaction, difficult children, and total scores than before intervention (P<0.05), and the observation group had lower scores than the control group (P<0.05). After 6 months of intervention, the scores of the two groups of children with autism on the Psychological Education Assessment Scale (PEP-3) were higher than before the intervention (P<0.05), and the CARS score was lower than before the intervention (P<0.05). Conclusion: VR eye tracking technology used for autism can stimulate childrens interest, promote personality development, improve autism behavior, reduce parenting pressure on family members, and increase confidence in social communication.
