Appointment Mentor VR is an immersive, interactive virtual reality experience designed to help individuals on the autism spectrum build confidence and skills for navigating medical appointments. Created with adults on the autism spectrum at nonPareil Institute—a nonprofit dedicated to empowering adults with autism through technical training and career development—this game simulates a doctor’s visit experience in a calm, repeatable environment.

From scheduling an appointment by phone to checking in with the receptionist, speaking with a nurse, and talking with the doctor, users can explore and practice each step at their own pace.

Whether preparing for a first appointment or reducing anxiety through repetition, Appointment Mentor VR offers a supportive space to build real-world readiness—free to everyone!
