More DescriptionTechnology for Learners with Autism Spectrum Disorders provides readers with an in-depth look at the characteristics of learners with ASD and explainsnbsp;how different forms of technology can be used to create learning opportunities for autistic students. The book is both academic and practical to appeal to multiple audiences: academicians, parents, teachers and therapists. Currently,nbsp;there is scant literature speakingnbsp;to the types of academic activities that should be developed and used to help children with ASD gain skills in academic areas: reading, writing, effective communication and mathematics. This book fills that void by including sample academic activities, explaining strategies for working with children diagnosed with ASD and examining ways a variety of technology tools can be used. All of the activities are visually appealing and they have been used with learners diagnosed with ASD.
