*Using Technology To Teach Social Skills To Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorders
Brief Description: In our increasingly-inclusive society, individuals with autism are required to socially interact with same-aged peers with typical development. Inclusionary settings are not restricted to school, but extend to recreational, community, vocational, and residential environments. Implementing a social narrative using digital media is a discreet and efficient means to provide social skill instruction to individuals with ASD. Using a clinical case study, this session will discuss how to effectively implement a social intervention via digital media.

*Using Ipad’s To Increase Independence For Transitioning Students and Adults With ASD
Brief Description: Mobile technology i-devices like the iPad provide individuals with ASD a unique opportunity for transitional support and independence.

Methods for reviewing Apps by matching features will be demonstrated as participants are encouraged to develop a plan for individual users. Apps will be demonstrated targeting independence and self-determination in productivity, social networking, communication, educational instruction, daily living, and social skills
