Topic:
An Introduction to Learning Styles in Children with Autism: Implications for iPad App Integration for Better Social and Learning Outcomes
Agenda:
• The Importance of Discerning a Child's Learning Style • The Role of Visual Supports in Autism Intervention and Examples • The Integration of Toys and iOS Tech in Treatment
Learning Objectives:
1. To describe the 3 different learning styles and clinical implications re: self regulation skills in children with Autism.2. To learn about various visual supports and their different uses: treatment & education3. To develop a framework for iPad use in treatment and curricula to bridge the gap between readiness to learn and actual performance re: social communication skills
A Message From Penina:
Autism intervention has taken on new meaning in the iEra, where the power and pitfalls
to progress can be especially challenging. Children with special needs all share the
innate desire to connect “the dots”, within themselves, and with others, so that they can
transition from being a Me to a We. This is especially crucial in this dawning age of
digital citizenship, and special education service providers and parents need to
understand the changing social communication and digital landscape. We also need to
understand that the education of these uniquely talented children, particularly those
with Autism, starts when the implemented goals and curricula:
• Take into account the child’s disorientation to person/place/time and implications
• Take into account the child’s intrinsic learning style and Theory of Mind
Research shows that children on the Autism spectrum appear to be “visual
learners”. They can greatly benefit from lessons which involve “whole body” learning,
the integration of toys and tech, and emphasize the visual modality. Research also
shows that children with Autism, appear to develop splintered acquisition of language
and social skills, and demonstrate "situation specific performance". A unified,
methodical, multi-sensory approach is needed, to collaborate on starting points for
remediation and best practices in eLearning, re: intervention using an iPad®. I’d like to
provide an introduction to that approach, in conjunction with my colleague and fellow
iPad Evangelist Karina. We’d like to help you navigate the process and parameters to
create productive, goal driven learning. To learn more about my approach visit my
