Apps For Autism
Autism? There?s an app for that! Actually, there are more than 200 apps for autism, and this book will guide you through them so you can confidently utilize today?s technology to maximize your child or student?s success! Speech Language Pathologist Lois Jean Brady wrote this book in order to educate parents, teachers, and other professionals about the breakthrough method she calls ?iTherapy??which is the use of Apple products (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) and various apps (computer applications) in meeting students? individual educational goals. Lois believes that all persons on the spectrum can learn how to use technology in a way that is relevant to them. She shares important tips on how to use apps responsibly and effectively by maintaining a child-centered, team approach to teaching and learning, taking into account the individual?s interests, strengths/challenges, vision, motor planning, attention, sensory processing, memory, cognitive ability, environment, and access to tools. Lois also coaches adults on how they can use prompting and reinforcement techniques to help establish and generalize skills learned, until students are able to consistently demonstrate the skills in various environments (home, school, etc).
