  • TeachTown®: Basics was designed by a team of autism researchers led by Dr. Christina Whalen, PhD, BCBA-D, Chief Science Officer, who co-founded the company while working at the University of Washington Autism Center. The intervention curriculum addresses early childhood learning standards, and uses prescriptive and adaptive intelligence to deliver direct instruction. At appropriate intervals, children are motivated with games and rewards. Teachers can view progress reports online and receive a monthly email report to track accountability. The program contains over 800 On Computer Lessons and Off Computer Activities, and delivers thousands of concepts in six essential learning domains: Mathematics, Language Development, Language Arts, Adaptive Skills, Cognitive Skills, and Social and Emotion Skills.

    Introductory level webcast on "AAC and Young Children" (20 minutes) by Drager, Light, and McNaughton may be useful for introducing AAC to Early Childhood Education staff. It focuses on ways to provide communication opportunities, model the use of AAC, pause, respond to the child, and most of all having fun!

  • A company that manufacturers secure personal cell phones for children is making a move to education, where it has introduced secure, internet-enabled mobile handheld devices for classroom use. School teachers or administrators can program the devices to allow (or disallow) calling or texting during certain times of the day, making them ideal for educational use, the company says
  • “There is recognition that we can leverage capabilities and technologies … by providing mobile learning devices for students with controls for schools,”
  • Data from Project Tomorrow’s 2010 Speak Up Survey indicate that 67 percent of parents support their child using mobile devices in the classroom for school work, although 65 percent of school administrators in the same survey strongly objected to letting students use their own mobile devices in school.

    Apportunities with iPads is a forum originally designed for 20 teachers and parents in the state of Minnesota who are involved in an iPad Project with children who have deaf-blindness. The intent of this forum is to establish a tool that will allow teachers and parents within this project to connect and share experiences about the use of the iPad as an instructional tool with this population of learners. The broader intent of this forum is to weave together the ever-changing face of app use within the field of special education and students with severe and multiple disabilities.
