In today’s educational climate, skillful use of technology as a teaching tool is more important than ever. While many schools have access to this tool, iPads are often not used to their full potential; teachers and related service providers report needing further training.

School-based occupational therapists have an opportunity to increase academic participation of their students by harnessing the iPad’s powerful technology. For students with autism especially, the iPad facilitates literacy development, increases academic performance, and decreases challenging behaviors.  

This school-based innovations lab will build the participants knowledge about the breadth of instructional applications for their students with autism through interactive learning modules and collaborative discussion on topics such as:

• Accessibility features
• Technology based instruction and intervention
• SETT framework to match students with technology
• Using iPads to support curricular subjects

Participants will attend 3 virtual meetings: Thursdays, from 7-8:15 pm on September 23, October 7 and October 21 with online discussions and access to resources between meetings.

Opportunity to earn 12 contact hours.
