Assistive Technology for Children with Autism - 0 views

  • To teach a child, who is using photographs or objects as his visual representation system, to understand black/white line drawings, place a small black/white picture communication symbol in the corner of the various objects/photographs currently used by the child. Gradually increase the size of the picture communication symbol until it eventually covers up the entire photograph/object.
  • When any visual representation system is used, it is important to combine it with a written word, as many children with autism exhibit a high interest in letters and words, and some even become early readers. Therefore we should continually enhance the child's literacy skills by also providing the written word with any type of visual representation system.

  • High TechnologyVideo taping is often highly successful among people with autism for teaching language and social skills. Children appreciate the predictable outcome, often watching the same video repetitively. Videos can be made of tasks, such as setting the table, or to increase vocabulary by naming objects or actions. Videos can be invaluable in the social arena, with opportunities to demonstrate both acceptable and unacceptable behavior. “Best practices” for social interactions can be modeled, such as smiling and saying hello to classmates. Tone of voice, body language, personal space, facial expressions and vocal volume can be observed and discussed. Research shows that the use of computers increases attention and decreases agitation in students with autism. Assistive technology for autism hardware options abound to ease the way for accessing a computer.

Why Technology in Schools? | EdTech Action Network - 0 views

  • Seventh graders with a variety of physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities benefited from the use of laptop computers, provided to students as part of Maine’s Laptop Technology Initiative. “Overall, special education teachers viewed the laptops as highly beneficial to their students with few exceptions,” according to a teacher survey. “The laptops were credited with improving the engagement of students with disabilities with their school work; increasing their motivation and ability to work independently; and improving their class participation, interaction with other students, interaction with teachers, and class preparation. Special education teachers and parents indicated that the laptops also increased students’ personal organization. Another important finding of this study was that special education teachers perceived their special education students to have increased the quality and quantity of their writing.
