Overview

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological and developmental disorder that affects how people interact with others, communicate, learn, and behave. Although autism can be diagnosed at any age, it is described as a “developmental disorder” because symptoms generally appear in the first two years of life.

According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), a guide created by the American Psychiatric Association that health care providers use to diagnose mental disorders, people with ASD often have:

  • Difficulty with communication and interaction with other people
  • Restricted interests and repetitive behaviors
  • Symptoms that affect their ability to function in school, work, and other areas of life

Autism is known as a “spectrum” disorder because there is wide variation in the type and severity of symptoms people experience.

People of all genders, races, ethnicities, and economic backgrounds can be diagnosed with ASD. Although ASD can be a lifelong disorder, treatments and services can improve a person’s symptoms and daily functioning. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all children receive screening for autism. Caregivers should talk to their child’s health care provider about ASD screening or evaluation.

You will find some language apps come with lots of pictures. There are some apps that allow you to upload pictures of your own.

Assistive technology can also be used to help your autistic child to improve in other areas where they experience challenges. For example, children on the autism spectrum often have difficulty identifying their feelings. Apps like “Touch and Learn” allow kids to see what specific emotions look like on the faces of other children. This particular app provides realistic photographs of young children expressing a wide range of emotions.

These delays can affect a child’s physical, cognitive, communication, social, emotional, or behavioral skills.

Often, developmental delays affect more than one area of a child’s development. When a child has delays in many or all of these areas, it is called global developmental delay.

Some developmental delays have an identifiable cause. However, for many children, the cause of the delay, or multiple delays, is not clear.

Low-tech
1. Behavior Charts: These are easy, low-tech devices that can be used regularly to keep a student on track throughout the day. There are many types of these charts that have easy access and are free to print!
2. critical Thinking: Each set of these cards contains information about different types of thinking. It helps students learn how to deal with emotions, how to solve problems, learn the difference between fact and inference, and lastly learn how to make predictions. These cards are very low-tech and have an amazing price!
3. Pull Talk: This device includes four detachable pouches that clip onto a student's belt. The benefits of this device include improvements in communication, independence, the build-up of self-confidence. This device may be used by children or adults. Students can create words of their own to improve reading skills and sight word recognition.
Mid-tech
1. MotivAIDER:  This mid-level technology is a great way to keep students focused! It is an easy-to-use device and it is a great way to take control of bad habits!
2. Quit Light: This device is a great way to keep control of the noise level in a classroom or at home. It worlds like a traffic light and keeps students alert. It is a computerized device that has different levels of sound and it is easy to use!
3. Learning to Get Along: This great mid technology device is meant to be read to the students. It is a great way to teach the simple emotional and social skills that are necessary for school and for life in general. It has many categories and fun games for students!
High-tech
1. BrainPop: Is a great high technology website that allows for students to study and play games involving all different school subjects. It is an animated educational site for students where they can learn by doing something enjoyable and it is free for all students!
2. Inspiration: This interactive site can be used to build a strong foundation for thinking, comprehension, and communication skills! The website includes visual organizers that make information easier to comprehend. It is a great place for students to learn how to write outlines and create presentations!
3. Nintendo Wii: This high technology device may seem like a bad idea because it is considered a video game. However, students who receive a reward for good behavior, tend to continue that behavior. Wii is a great way for students to stay active, play games, and have some sort of emotional release when playing a game. This system can also improve social skills because it requires children to take turns and share. This is a great way for students to interact with other peers and remain in control of their emotions!"

Teaching Strategies
Educators who work with individuals who are deafblind have a unique challenge to ensure that the person has access to the world beyond the limitations of their reach. The most important challenge for teachers (as well as parents and caregivers) is to meaningfully communicate. Some basic guidelines for communication include:

  • Individuals who are deafblind will often need touch in order for them to be sure that their partner shares their focus of attention.
  • Exploring objects should be done in a "nondirective" way, allowing the individual who is deafblind to have control
  • The individual may have very slow response times. Therefore, the teacher should allow time for the student to respond.
  • Symbolic communication can be utilized by individuals who are deafblind. The principal communication systems include:
    • Touch cues
    • Object symbols
    • Sign language
    • Gestures
    • Picture symbols
    • Fingerspelling
    • Signed English
    • Braille
    • American Sign Language
    • Lip-reading speech
    • Pidgin Signed English
    • Tadoma method of speech reading
    • Large print

DCD, sometimes referred to as dyspraxia, impacts a wide range of tasks, skills, and activities. That includes everything from taking notes to doing things in the right order.

Students may struggle to get from classroom to classroom on time or change into gym clothes. They may have trouble applying the right amount of pressure when they use a pen or pencil to write. Or their handwriting may be so messy that it’s unreadable.

What classroom accommodations can help with DCD? Here are some strategies teachers can use.

That means, communication skills and physical examinations by health care personnel need to be adapted to the intellectual and emotional level of the person with ID, to get the correct diagnosis and ensure the appropriate assistive product(s) are prescribed.
Second, the awareness among caregivers and health personnel of comorbidities  should increase for people with ID; such as sensory impairments and dementia.

Behavioral 

Teachers in all subject areas should be aware of the impact of an orthopedic disability on a student's behavior in class. Students with these impairments, for example, might get tired more quickly than their peers without orthopedic disabilities.4


Participation 

Physical education classes, in particular, may pose difficulties. Some students with orthopedic impairments will need to be excused from gym class. Other students with mild orthopedic impairments may be able to participate.


Seating 

A student may need special seating arrangements to help him with posture and mobility, as moving around the classroom or moving around school hallways may be difficult. Schools may also need to arrange the schedules of these students in a way that prevents them from having to travel long distances from one class to another. Providing elevator access can also help.


Technology 

They may also need assistive technology devices to help them communicate or lessons that address their disability, such as those that will help them improve their gross and fine motor skills. Devices and technologies that might be utilized may include wheelchairs, specialized desks, canes, crutches, communication software, or speech recognition software.


Travel 

Children with orthopedic impairments may also face challenges accessing transportation to get to and from school. Federal law, however, requires school districts to provide the transportation necessary to help children with disabilities travel to and from school.

Assistive Technology:
There are no specific technological devices that are recommended for students with AD/HD, but there are a number of tools that can be helpful in strengthening and supporting the organizational abilities of these individuals. Low tech devices such as notebooks and dividers can be utilized to record and organize assigned homework and classroom tasks. For older students, personal digital assistants, dictating machines, and a variety of computer programs can perform the same task.

For most students in the other health impairment category, it is the needs of the individual that drive the designation of appropriate assistive technology. For the most part, the majority of these students can access and benefit from the same technological supports that are used with their normally developing peers.

Assistive technology can further enhance the lives of those who cannot speak, hear, see or even walk. AT devices may be categorized as no technology, low technology or even high technology.The term "no technology" or "no tech" refers to any AT device that is not electronic, like a plain communication board with pictures to which the student points. The low-tech devices are electronic but do not require highly computerized components. An example of this occurs in my school, The Hungerford School in the New York City borough of Staten Island. It has electronic voice-recording devices and talking switches. These devices are heavily used with the low-functioning population in the Speech Department and in conjunction with our home economics teacher. https://padlet.com/jissellemota/5w4fqc992nmal7d9/wish/2224085738
