Mind Hacks: Virtual reality to treat combat trauma

Mind Hacks: Virtual reality to treat combat trauma: “…virtual reality is being used to treat soldiers who have suffered post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after combat.

Symptoms of PTSD include intrusive memories, pathological avoidance of things related or loosely-related to the trauma, and persistent arousal.”

I wonder if this would be useful, someday, for treating children with perceptual challenges.
