Welcome!
Thank you for visiting this site. Much research has been conducted about how to teach children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), and this webpage boils all of the findings down to teaching reading and writing through technology. You will learn how to tailor writing education to various types of learners, how to engage and interest students with ASD, and increase motivation. You will also learn about research-based strategies and reasons why specific styles of teaching work for students with ASD. Personally, I am very interested in teaching Special Education, specifically students with Autism Spectrum Disorders. While conducting research, I found that technology has been an extremely effective intervention for these students, and I was prompted to complete this webpage. Many of the ideas and strategies found throughout this site will be incorporated into my general or special education classroom because the methods are so engaging and effective for student learning. Please make sure that your computer has appropriate software for viewing PowerPoints and videos.
Thank you,
Sharon Jones
