I work in the Autism program in Paterson, NJ. Unfortunately, our students are not given all of the resources that are needed from them to succeed academically and/or socially due to lack of funding. With that being said, I decided to join Donors Choose to help assist my students with the resources that they need. As we all know, technology has became a staple in a Special Education classroom. In order to reach all of my students needs, I try to use as many different strategies during instructional time as possible. Integrating technology has played a huge role in my classroom. My students are in love with technology and are eager to learn whenever I turn on a computer or the smart board. I decided to ask for an iPad because it offers portability and flexibly that a traditional computer cannot provide to my students. Since it utilizes a touchscreen, the iPad is more accessible for children who have learning or coordination difficulties. Most children who use the iPad find that tapping and sliding motions are much easier than typing. The world for an autistic child is full of imagery, rather than words. On an iPad, my students can create a sentence or even story using a selection of images. By doing so, the child can communicate with the teacher and instructional aides in the classroom.
