In this paper, we present a head-mounted display based virtual reality game developed to teach street-crossing skills to children and adolescents diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The virtual reality street-crossing training game is co-designed with four teachers who work with children diagnosed with autism on a daily basis. The teachers specified a set of requirements for the gamified training application that is described and discussed in this paper alongside the plans for the future itterations.
