Visual Strategies to Overcome Behavior Challenges in ASD
Course: #5690Level: Intermediate 1 Hour 62 Reviews
Most students with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), such as Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, and related communication challenges, are visual learners. The use of visual strategies, including a range of low tech to high tech like iPads and Apps, capitalizes on their strengths and alters many communication and behavior difficulties related to time, travel and transition. This course defines the need and demonstrates practical examples for helping students participate successfully in life opportunities.

I really enjoyed the research slide about brain waves and slower processing - this was more interesting to methan the many slides this speaker included related to apps and iPads - those slides seemed dated and a bit obvious.I wish the slides and the verbal were more "to the point" and less "talky" - at times was a bit boring.

The presenter was great! She did a great job presenting the information and engaging with the audience. However, I really didn't like the content of the material, not because it wasn't well explained but because I do not agree with some of the strategies used. (mostly the use of technology; ipads, tablets, etc). The presenter did a great job though! I liked her :)

I think it's an important topic that SLP's should implement more with the appropriate clients and should be shared with teachers and parents to allow a better generalization and reduce behaviors but can only be done if it is consistently implemented in various settings with various partners.
