“ The secret of education is to respect the pupil.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

CHARACTERISTICS OF ASPERGER’S SYNDROME AND OTHER FORMS OF AUTISM  Brain’s ability to use information different from neuro-typically developing children.  Creates a different perspective on the world.  Difficulty processing in-coming information.  Need for alternative teaching strategies.

BENEFITS OF ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY  Overall understanding of their environment  Expressive communication skills  Social interaction skills  Attention skills  Motivation skills  Organization skills  Academic skills – reading writing, math  Self help skills  Overall independent daily functioning

WHAT IS ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY Assistive technology is any Assistive technology is anyelectronic/computer technology that is used to compensate for specific learning disabilities.

THREE TYPES OF TECHNOLOGY  “LOW” Technology  “MID” Technology  “HIGH” Technology

“LOW” TECHNOLOGY  Technology that is visually supportive and low cost. They do not involve any type of electronics or batteries.  Examples: dry erase boards, black boards. clipboards, photo albums.

“MID” TECHNOLOGY  Simple battery operated devices that are not technologically advanced.  Tape recorder, overhead projector, calculators, simple output devices.

“HIGH” TECHNOLOGY  Technology that is not only complex but also costly.  Video Cameras, computers, complex voice output devices.
