Using iTechnology as Evidence-Based Practice: Visual Directions for Students with ASD

Date/Location:

May 16, 2016, Online

Description:

While low tech strategies have become standards for programming for students with ASD (e.g., visual schedules, checklists, social narratives, etc.), higher levels of technology tools, particularly the use of iTechnology, can further increase the motivation, attention, and independence of students with ASD. Many previously identified “low tech” visual supports and strategies can now be incorporated into iTechnology, to provide learners with ASD convergent and differential learning through mobile “anytime / anywhere” support and instruction.

Speakers:

Susan Stokes, M.A., CCC-SLP

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Participants will be able to identify web-based resources for evidence-based practices specific to students identified with ASD.
  2. Participants will be able list various apps that can be used to create the evidence-based practice of visual directions to meet the learning needs of students with ASD.
  3. Participants will be able to determine how to select various visual direction apps to meet individual learner needs.
