Abstract
Virtual reality enables dynamic interaction between children and their environments, and active engagement in functional activities using a highly motivating, user-friendly and safe interface. The present work describes a new virtual environment, the Meal-Maker, created to evaluate and treat functional performance in a familiar context (kitchen) for children with cerebral palsy.
