Assistive Techanology in Helping Students with Autism

1.     Conversations

2.     Creating Shared experiences

3.     Emotional Awareness and Regulation

4.     Social Cognitive skills

These 4 areas are areas of focus for students of ATS. Several apps are available that focus on these areas.

Conversations

With conversation builder, students will learn when it is appropriate to introduce themselves, ask questions, make observations and change the subject of the conversation.

How it works is that:
-Students record their half of the conversation
-They can initiate or respond to conversations
-and the conversations can be 4 or 8 exchanges long
-One nice aspect of this application is that some personal Student information can be used in conversations to personalize the conversation and make it more meaningful.

Shared Experiences

:
● Identify feelings in others
