Virtual Experiences Making a Real Difference at Queensmill School
Queensmill School in Hammersmith and Fulham uses omiVista to support pupils with Autistic Spectrum Conditions through multi-sensory, movement-based activities that build engagement, communication, and social participation.
Interactive projection helping pupils with ASC build communication, turn-taking, and confidence through motivating play
From Reluctance to Engagement
Staff observed meaningful change in pupils who were previously reluctant to engage with certain experiences, including water-themed activities.
With omiVista, pupils could safely explore projected environments and gradually build comfort through interactive, self-directed participation.
The Moving Floor in Daily Practice
In regular sessions, pupils take turns on the ‘moving floor’ while peers practise waiting, observing, and preparing for their own turn.
Activities are designed to encourage focus, turn-taking, and communication in a routine that remains motivating and enjoyable.
Leadership Reflection
“It fits in with our philosophy. We make the curriculum so motivating that children communicate with us about it.”
Skills Supported Through Sessions
- Increased use of speech, signs, or symbols to communicate turn-taking.
- Improved patience and ability to wait for turns in group activities.
- Greater social interaction through shared, structured play.
- Reduced anxiety through predictable environments where pupils can control interactions.
A Structured but Child-Led Experience
Teachers describe the approach as working to each pupil’s strengths while maintaining educational goals in the background.
This blend of freedom and structure creates a safe space for experimentation, helping pupils connect real and virtual experiences with confidence.
