Autism and iPads in the Classroom.

Nelda Reyes's curator insight, January 26, 2019 11:58 PM
This article covers how iPads can be used to support learning for students with autism.  Special education teachers have seen an increase in educational implementation using tech tools like iPads in order to differentiate instruction for sped students with autism. iPads which are handheld allows students with autism to move around while learning is happening and they are able to learn at their own pace and with minimal interruption or disruption.  The article states how the difficulty is the purchase of personal iPads for students but like in the case of my campus there is funding set aside for this particular purchases.  We also have a sped department that provides as much as needed for our students with disabilities which is wonderful.
