 http://atconsiderations-asd.wikispaces.com/Because individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder typically process visual information with the greatest clarity, providing them with visual supports helps to promote that strength. Various types of technology—from “light” to “high” tech—should be infused into every aspect of their daily lives.
This wiki was created to investigate and catalog various modes of technology, including technology designed as an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) system, which may be used for students with ASD to increase or improve their skills in several areas, including:

• overall understanding of their environment
• expressive and receptive communication skills
• motor skills
• sensory issues
• social interaction skills
• attention skills
• motivation skills
• organization skills
• academic skills
• overall independent daily functioning skills
