| Abstract: | People with Intellectual Disability (ID) are more vulnerable to Substance Use Disorder (SUD), however their treatment is less effective. This study is investigating the integration of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) into Virtual Reality (VR) exercises and whether CBT principles are accurately represented. 4 experts took part in this qualitative study who were either psychologists, psychotherapists or researchers, and they were experts in the topic of CBT, ID, and SUD. The experts were shown flashcards representing the proposed CBT-VR exercises, to determine if they align with the 6 D’s used in CBT: Distance, Declare, Distraction, Different thinking, Different acting, and Doing great. The results showed that all participants agreed that the proposed CBT-VR exercises represent the CBT principles well enough, and suggested some improvements. These improvements include the applicability of the flashcard, integration of negative and positive reactions, accompanying flashcards designed for clients, suitable manual and CBT representation. This study indicates that VR can be an effective way to convey the CBT principles to individuals with ID, with a specific application to substance use disorder. |
