Despite the prevalence of impaired executive function after brain damage, rehabilitation approaches of the dysexecutive syndrome are still limited. Virtual reality has shown its potential to propose innovative intervention strategies based on ecologically valid functional tasks. The purpose of this paper is to present the process of design of the Therapeutic Virtual Kitchen (TVK) in which ecological and adaptable virtual tasks may be configured by the therapists for patients’ assessment and rehabilitation. The outcomes of a preliminary test of feasibility among the therapists will be reported and discussed.
