Michael• 7th Grade• 13 years old• Has Autism• Semi-verbal• Loves school• Loves being with his friends• We have found that there is no cognitive

impairment but a lack of the ability to teach him in the way he learns and to find the best way for him to show us what he knows

Page 5: Collaboration and Technology to Promote Inclusion.

School & Home

• If we do not work on the same things with Michael at home & at school then there is a lack of generalization in many areas

• It takes a lot longer for him to learn with out working on the same material in both environments

• We need to take advantage of the knowledge that the teachers have as well as the knowledge that the parents bring to the table

Page 6: Collaboration and Technology to Promote Inclusion.

We work together with Michael’s teachers to design

the curriculum for Michael so that not only can he learn but he can also be in class

with his peers.

Page 7: Collaboration and Technology to Promote Inclusion.

Curriculum

Michael’s curriculum follows along with the regular education class as much as is

possible.

Accommodations and modifications are made but it looks as close to what the

other kids are doing as possible.

Page 8: Collaboration and Technology to Promote Inclusion.

For Science & Social Studies, he does the same assignments but they are either

accommodated or modified so that he is able to do them to the greatest extent

possible on his own.

Reading & Math

He does in the resource room at his current level

Specials (Computers, Band, Gym, etc.)

He does with the others except he has trouble with team sports and the music is

enlarged for him.

Page 11: Collaboration and Technology to Promote Inclusion.

The first thing we had to do was to figure out how he learns and the best ways for him

to show us what he knows.

Kids with ASD tend to be very visual and have fine motor problems.

Page 12: Collaboration and Technology to Promote Inclusion.

• We found he needed things broken down for him

• He needed to be able to see what we were talking about as much as possible

• He needed to be able to manipulate things (especially for math) to help him understand things

• Technology could make a huge difference

Page 13: Collaboration and Technology to Promote Inclusion.

How can so many people work together or at least share information needed?

• Email, Email, Email!!!

• Wiki space for the team

Page 14: Collaboration and Technology to Promote Inclusion.

Michael also has his own computer that he can take to all of his classes with him and

then take home.

We know that this is not always possible but can make a huge difference.

The things we use for Michael:

Page 16: Collaboration and Technology to Promote Inclusion.

Basic Tech is Wonderful

• Learning websites

• Labeler

• Word

• Picture disks

• Google Images

• Digital cameras

• Flash drives

Page 17: Collaboration and Technology to Promote Inclusion.

Power Point

Michael has been able to do a lot of group projects with peers using Microsoft Power

Point

Page 18: Collaboration and Technology to Promote Inclusion.

Michael has been able to do the same chapter books as his peers in Reading

using books on CD.

He also listens to the same book at home as well as at school.

Used to use Read & Tell by Slater Software but with improvement in reading we no

longer do.

Many on line learning games

• www.Jumpstart.com

• www.starfall.com

• See handout of more websites to be given out at presentation

Page 27: Collaboration and Technology to Promote Inclusion.

Many we no longer use due to Michael’s advancements in learning

• Tell & Read by Slater Software

• Pixwriter by Slater Software

• Simply Science by Slater Software

• Kid Keys by Knowledge Adventure

• Coinulator

• Labeler (age appropriateness)

Page 28: Collaboration and Technology to Promote Inclusion.

Peers

• Try to get peers to help him in class

• Peers tend to think technology is cool as compared to other items that could be used

• He cares about what his peers think so this comes into play when we ask him to use something at school or around his friends

Page 29: Collaboration and Technology to Promote Inclusion.

As Michael gets older

• Keep considering age appropriateness

• The more classes, the more teachers

• Buy in

• He is really starting to care about looking different

• Always keep him learning
