Smartwatches may provide a natural, portable, and unobtrusive strategy by which to support directive-following for individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). A mentor can send visual supports (e.g., photographs, videos, text) "just-in-time" (JIT) to a learner's smartwatch. This may reduce the need for extraneous face-to-face…

Ozdowska, Anne; Wyeth, Peta; Carrington, Suzanne; Ashburner, Jill – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2021
Children on the autism spectrum (AS) often struggle with writing tasks at school. They commonly experience difficulty with two key aspects of writing: the skills required for handwriting (fine motor and perceptual) and the conceptual and language skills required for written composition. Specialist intervention to assist with written expression is,…

Kulawiak, Pawel R. – Cogent Education, 2021
Classroom noise impairs students' cognition and learning. At a first glance, it seems useful to prevent the negative effects of noise on academic learning by wearing noise-cancelling (NC) headphones during class. The literature and guidelines emphasize the academic benefits of wearing NC headphones (decreased auditory distraction, increased…

A Pilot Investigation of an iOS-Based App for Toilet Training Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Mruzek, Daniel W.; McAleavey, Stephen; Loring, Whitney A.; Butter, Eric; Smith, Tristram; McDonnell, Erin; Levato, Lynne; Aponte, Courtney; Travis, Rebekah P.; Aiello, Rachel E.; Taylor, Cora M.; Wilkins, Jonathan W.; Corbett-Dick, Patricia; Finkelstein, Dianne M.; York, Alyssa M.; Zanibbi, Katherine – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2019
We developed an iOS-based app with a transmitter/disposable sensor and corresponding manualized intervention for children with autism spectrum disorder. The app signaled the onset of urination, time-stamped accidents for analysis, reminded parents to reinforce intervals of continence, provided a visual outlet for parents to communicate…

Nepo, Kaori; Tincani, Matt; Axelrod, Saul – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2021
The use of mobile devices has become a major medium of leisure engagement for the general population. However, individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) experience disparities in technology access, which may limit their engagement in mobile device-based leisure. Little research has examined procedures for teaching individuals with ID to…

Curran, David – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Assistive Technology (AT) has become an important tool used by special needs children for improving their quality of life by empowering their abilities, therefore improving their personal independence. The purpose of this Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) study was to closely examine the experiences and meaning-making of parents, of…

Hardesty, Canyon; Moody, Eric J.; Kern, Shira; Warren, Wendy; Cooley Hidecker, Mary Jo; Wagner, Susan; Arora, Sanjeev; Root-Elledge, Sandra – Rural Special Education Quarterly, 2021
Adequately prepared educators are critical to the success of children in rural settings, but many educators receive little training on how to support students with disabilities. Professional development for educators is challenging in rural areas due to the lack of opportunities and travel requirements. Project ECHO™ was originally developed to…

Thompson, Wendy Faye – ProQuest LLC, 2018
People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience higher rates of unemployment and underemployment than any other disability category. Employment may play an important role in the development of self-worth for people with ASD. Some people with ASD require workplace accommodations. Technology-based accommodations may be one solution for helping…

Schlosser, Ralf W.; O'Brien, Amanda; Yu, Christina; Abramson, Jennifer; Allen, Anna A.; Flynn, Suzanne; Shane, Howard C. – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2017
Objectives: Everyday technologies (e.g. iPads, smart phones, Apple Watch®) might be successfully repurposed to meet the needs of children with disabilities. Although visual supports are an empirically supported treatment, they are typically not provided just-in-time (JIT). In this study, we aimed to provide JIT visual supports in the form of scene…

Beneficial Effects of Robot-Mediated Class Activities on a Child with ASD and His Typical Classmates
Fachantidis, Nikolaos; Syriopoulou-Delli, Christine K.; Vezyrtzis, Ioannis; Zygopoulou, Maria – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2020
Objective: The current educational intervention investigates how the use of the educational robot as an assistive tool can aid young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder helping them strengthen relationships and improving their interaction with typically developing children. Method: For this purpose an interdisciplinary road safety program was…

Scheeler, Mary Catherine; Morano, Stephanie; Lee, David L. – Teacher Education and Special Education, 2018
In today's autistic-support classrooms, paraeducators are tasked with working with our neediest students yet report that they are unprepared for their roles despite attempts at training. The special education teachers who are tasked with coaching and supervising several paraeducators at a time in their classrooms report that they too are…

There is considerable demand for special education services for the over half a million students with autism in the United States. While assistive technology may augment educational services, its implementation is often prevented by a number of practical and attitudinal barriers. These barriers are especially pertinent for the newest and thus…
