This workshop
will focus on using mobile devices as cognitive‐behavioral and learning
supports for students with autism, at home, at school, and in the community. We
will discuss the HAAT model and positive behavioral supports facilitated by
mobile apps as part of a larger exploration of current hardware and
accessibility solutions.
Then attendees will be loaned Apple iOS devices loaded
with appropriate applications to use during the workshop. We will practice
using accessibility settings, Bluetooth switches and other peripherals for
students with sensorimotor impairments, and then address challenges to time
management, task‐sequencing, wayfinding, behavior, and social skills.
Using
case studies drawn from extensive experience working directly with these tools
among young people with autism, we will problem‐solve mobile technology
solutions for these challenges, along with person tracking, augmentative
communication, medication routines, and anxiety. We will explore strategies for
leveraging these solutions to transition planning. The workshop will be
experiential, and attendees will have opportunities to practice with the
recommended apps, solve problems from their own cases, and develop stepwise
strategies for implementing these solutions.
There is NO COST for this workshop. If you have your own device, please
bring. There will be devices provided for those who need them.
