What Educators Should Know about iPads and Students with Autism
Taylor, Shanon; Urquhart, Amanda
Educational Research: Theory and Practice, v29 n2 p29-38 2018
Anecdotal evidence shared by teachers appears to support the iPad as a useful tool for working with children with autism. However, there are thousands of possible applications, known as "apps", available in the Apple iTunes store for download and trying to decide what would be most useful for students can be daunting. This article will review the limited research currently available on usage of iPads with students with autism and share information about apps currently used, as well as information on peripherals and basic iPad accessibility features teachers may find useful in the classroom.
