My previous post discussed various iPad apps used to teach students with Autism. IPads are a great AT tool to use when working with students with Autism. However, they are not the only choice when it comes to using AT to reach children with Autism.
This video introduces us to Carly, a young woman with severe Autism. Up until age 11, Carly's family, teachers, and friends thought that Carly was unable to communicate. At age 11, Carly began learning to communicate through typing and the results were incredible.
Carly's story demonstrates how AT can be used to reach students who were once thought to be unreachable. I thought that this video was amazing and it made me very excited about AT, especially in terms of working with students with Autism.
