iPads and Autism
by Amanda
Sep 2, 2012
I have heard that iPads, Leap Pads, etc. can be very beneficial in teaching children who have Autism. When using the devices, children stay engaged and interested in the lesson for longer than when taught traditional learning strategies. As a future Speech-Language Pathologist, I plan on using this technology in my therapy sessions. However, I am concerned that some children may be drawn only to the sounds and lights of the “teaching” apps and not learn the lesson being conveyed. Does anyone have any success stories of using iPads in therapy sessions that they would not mind sharing?
