Overview

This work offers a practical approach for staff and carers who want to develop the use of ICT for children on the autistic spectrum and for those with language and communication difficulties. It combines descriptions of current research and literature on the subject of autism and ICT with practical guidance on software and hardware. A practical approach encourages experimentation, values the skills and attributes that participants bring and minimizes the technical barrier to ICT use. The book includes: concise information on what autism is; examples of a range of pupils and their typical learning behaviour; advice on how ICT can relate to various aspects of autism; information on concept keyboards and touch-sensitive screens and switches; and help with buying a computer and using the Internet. Teachers, carers and parents of children with autism or language and communication problems should find lots of useful suggestions and advice on how to use ICT to help across the curriculum.
