  • We have been looking at how technology can support pupils with autism to communicate more effectively
  • Ian Lowe, headteacher at Topcliffe Primary, said that because the robots have no emotions, autistic children find them more predictable and less threatening. He added: "The robots have been brilliant at supporting autistic children with their learning.

    Isn't it incredible what technology is doing for people with autism! Imagine what it would have been like for them 50years ago? 20 years ago? Even ten years ago!!! This knowledge is so crucial as a special needs teacher, there could be nonverbal students in the class who have deeper communication desires and intellectual abilities than we realise! This opens so many doors and opportunities for them, allowing them to participate in class, make learning their own, to engage in conversations and learn in a whole new way!! What a really useful tool that could be so easily incporporated in a classroom. Ipads now have apps that make this kind of technology really really accessible! http://www.autismspeaks.org/autism-apps
