Autism Apps - Home
This is based on a wiki site I created (see 'creator' link for my background). Please excuse some of the lack of formatting and missing images while I reload my wikispace pages here.
(These pages were originally created for a talk at ISTE 2011 in Philadelphia and have been shared with many different audiences.including ISTE 2012 (San Diego) and my lovely Canadian Audiences!)
With such a large and connected community, you will be sure to want to visit the Resources page with more links and information. But if you are new, the process can be daunting. These pages are organized to limit the search space for you, providing tools for only the main categories of 'need' for students with autism. This leaves you with many more tools to explore under other pages. I've also included a page with Rubrics, Handouts and a list of Android Apps. and a special 'updated apps' section for my recent literacy talks.
While the focus is on those apps that help students with Autism, many students with special needs can be helped by some of these listed

A Note about Wikis. A Great WEB 2.0 tool for education...
A Wiki is a shared space for members to contribute or edit information (comes from wikipedia). I love to have members help maintain this site, however, YOU do NOT need to join as a member of the Wiki to benefit from looking at the pages ( I get many folks asking me if someone can join, but they never comment or add information). If you join, it should be because you want to contribute something to the community. Membership to these pages require that you tell me a little about yourself and why you are interested in participating. I do check the pages for recent updates and changes made by members. However, it is a place for you to share what you are finding and comment on what you like. This learning environment is always changing so its great to have help from the members to the wiki site. That's what Web2.0 is all about, the democracy of sharing. --but alas, this is no longer a wiki it is a google site-so if you need something changed. you need to ask me to join the site--and then I can offer permission for editing as needed. thanks!
