Welcome to #atchat Today we will discuss AT for students on the autism spectrum in honor of Autism Awareness Month. #spedchat

KarenJan - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:01 PM EDT

This should be an exciting topic. My experience is this is a group of Ss who don't have access 2 the tech they need for independence #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:01 PM EDT

Hey now! AT Specialist from NJ & co-mod. Introduce yourself and tell us where you are from. #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:02 PM EDT

@mmatp Hi Mike - looking forward to this discussion tonight. So much to discuss! #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:02 PM EDT

There is great variability in the learning profile of Ss on the spectrum so this is a very broad topic. #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:02 PM EDT

We can divide it into categories but first speak more broadly about the topic. #ATchat

#atchat Sounds like a new gap-those expanding their thinking of literacy & those who think in a paper pencil world. https://t.co/00On5GWFj2

So happy to hear that my daughter’s school introduced the kids to Voice Typing on their Chromebooks on day 1. #atchat #assistivetech

Q1: #ATchat - What types of assistive technologies are you using with your students on the autism spectrum? What are your broad categories?

mmatp - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:05 PM EDT

@rziolkowski Hi Ruth! Glad you can join us for part of #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:05 PM EDT

@KirschbaumB1 Hi Beth - looks like you are new to Twitter - great you are here. #ATchat (you will want to change your profile pic!)

gallianstone Apr 13 @ 8:06 PM EDT

@KarenJan why not Autism Acceptance Month? - this community is very aware, but could use more acceptance! #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A1 - AT for video modeling, AT for learning and instruction - it is so overlooked with this population. #ATchat

darlaashton Apr 13 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A1: tech for writing, math and reading accessibility; visual schedules, prompting, reinforcement, video modeling #atchat

MaegeK Apr 13 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A1: AAC, visual schedules, word prediction, writing, and video modeling. #ATchat

MaegeK Apr 13 @ 8:07 PM EDT

@bwwojci @ltoddrose Great! I can send you a GDoc to brainstorm some chat ?s if you are interested #Atchat

@KarenJan What scares me is when the devices get programmed to become the academic programs. Way to kill interest in communication! #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@wernedat Great you made it! #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@gallianstone Who is doing that programming? Are you seeing it often? #ATchat https://t.co/uI2kfxcjKY

@KarenJan What scares me is when the devices get programmed to become the academic programs. Way to kill interest in communication! #atchat

rziolkowski Apr 13 @ 8:15 PM EDT

#atchat A1: had a great experience. Lots of behaviors, prompted T to have student write answer. Bam! Ss student wrote Orange. no one knew

mmatp - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Q2: #atchat - How are your teams addressing the unique technology needs of students with autism? What does implementation look like?

@rziolkowski Is that the link you shared? I'll go back after the chat to review everything. #ATchat

@RhianonElan @deTechtive1 So glad people are excited! Looking forward to starting a new #ATchat tradition

KarenJan - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2 - as always, use the SETT Framework to guide decisions. Then collaboration and hopefully develop an AT implementation plan. #ATchat

darlaashton Apr 13 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2: through SETT framework and teachers using the tech side by side w/ Ss. You talk with AAC? So do I! #atchat

JudithSchoonov1 Apr 13 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A1 visuals, manipulatives, social stories, Time Timers, photos, Google calendar, Boardmaker, Pixwriter, Read&Write, LAMP WFL #ATchat

bwwojci Apr 13 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2/Q2 Are the technology needs of S w Autism unique? Propose that functional needs that drive tech supports are similar to others #atchat

VickiBostonSLP Apr 13 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@gallianstone @KarenJan I've seen this, too- lots of "sight words" & calendar time phrases but not much in the way of communication #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@darlaashton Yes, Aided language Stimulation! Great video from @attipscast https://t.co/zZ6SfHsimC #ATchat https://t.co/BZ8GwDdusL

A2: through SETT framework and teachers using the tech side by side w/ Ss. You talk with AAC? So do I! #atchat

gallianstone Apr 13 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2. Choices/flexibility are key. Sensory self-ref means Ss are not always available to use the same system as last hour/yesterday #atchat

ksuding Apr 13 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2: Implementation looks like new behaviors at first- then with impeccable patience, comes progress. #atchat

rziolkowski Apr 13 @ 8:20 PM EDT

#atchat A2: Not trying to be promotional-but we get lots of successes. First Author Curriculum is teaching teachers how to get Ss writing.

gallianstone Apr 13 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@VickiBostonSLP @KarenJan or an "Edmark folder" in what is otherwise a robust language system. #atchat

JudithSchoonov1 Apr 13 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@bwwojci Agree. Start with environment & modifications to address sensory & communication needs. Use whatcha got technology first #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@bwwojci Great point. not seeing the use of AT w S on the Spectrum in Out of district placements.unique. #ATchat https://t.co/EH5dwIVCDG

bwwojci Apr 13 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2/Q2 Are the technology needs of S w Autism unique? Propose that functional needs that drive tech supports are similar to others #atchat

@VickiBostonSLP @KarenJan or Ss w/ robust systems that only know how to answer calendar q b/c it's the only time it's been taught. #atchat

bwwojci Apr 13 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@JudithSchoonov1 Think we need to underscore AT is based in human functions and not tied to specific disabilities #important #atchat

gallianstone Apr 13 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@KarenJan @bwwojci Not following this comment... I work in an OOD placement... #atchat

bwwojci Apr 13 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@KarenJan What does that look like? Why is AT not being used? #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@bwwojci @JudithSchoonov1 Agree. But this is a population that is denied access to AT in out-of-district schools for autistic Ss #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@bwwojci @JudithSchoonov1 I wish that was the case but it's pretty shocking. #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:24 PM EDT

Q3: #atchat - What research articles and/or resources have guided your work with students on the spectrum? Please add the links here.

gallianstone Apr 13 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@bwwojci For some Ss (like AAC users) They have some unique needs, for someone like me, no probably not. It's a big spectrum! #atchat

PattyATP Apr 13 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A2:allowing flexibility seat options. Ss who need to move r provided literacy tools on vert or floor #ATchat

VickiBostonSLP Apr 13 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@gallianstone @KarenJan yes, and then lots of complaints that the device isn't working for communication! What was taught? #atchat

bwwojci Apr 13 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@KarenJan @JudithSchoonov1 I have seen where some districts/schools abdicate their responsibility for providing AT in OOD placements #atchat

ksuding Apr 13 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A2: I just want to mention SETT framework again to "stick" for essential mind set purposes #atchat @darlaashton @KarenJan

MaegeK Apr 13 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@bwwojci @KarenJan @JudithSchoonov1 I think it depends. I work in an OOD and most districts provide individual AT we provide UDL. #ATchat

deTechtive1 Apr 13 @ 8:27 PM EDT

#atchat q3 @wrenasmir @depipads

bwwojci Apr 13 @ 8:28 PM EDT

Q4: #atchat - How does AT fit with ABA or Discrete Trial principles?How does your district resolve the philosophical differences?

darlaashton Apr 13 @ 8:30 PM EDT

My favorite EBP apps: https://t.co/IyxfYpNtIm #atchat

bwwojci Apr 13 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@mmatp Are there philosophical differences? ABA/DTT are methods of teaching/learning. They can be used to teach and use AT also #atchat

VickiBostonSLP Apr 13 @ 8:33 PM EDT

@gallianstone @KarenJan @bwwojci I was in a classroom once that "didn't allow screen time in kindergarten" & it was a big deal. #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A3 - Here's a link to research about teaching Ss with autism to read for meaning. https://t.co/epJaEa30mY #ATchat

bwwojci Apr 13 @ 8:33 PM EDT

@gallianstone Curious why not in favor of ABA/DTT? #atchat

darlaashton Apr 13 @ 8:34 PM EDT

A4: ABA in a center and in a school can look very different. And can blend well. Depends on need of Ss. #atchat

MaegeK Apr 13 @ 8:34 PM EDT

A4: ABA fits right in. Behaviors often decrease once AT is provided. DTI driven ABA fits better with low tech, but it can work. #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:36 PM EDT

Q5: #atchat - How well are we meeting the needs of students on the spectrum? What are your successes and frustrations?

gallianstone Apr 13 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@bwwojci B/c most people who graduate from it develop PTSD, b/c it does not presume competence, b/c it teaches kids to memorize .... #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:36 PM EDT

Read some of the blog posts by autistic adults. They talk about PTSD as a result of the techniques #ATchat https://t.co/Yb2IeHFgpo

bwwojci Apr 13 @ 8:33 PM EDT

@gallianstone Curious why not in favor of ABA/DTT? #atchat

darlaashton Apr 13 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A4: i think we have to be careful though...ABA isn't JUST DTT. and doesn't always include DTT. #atchat

gallianstone Apr 13 @ 8:37 PM EDT

@bwwojci A correct answer instead of learning to problem-solve. B/c research says it can actually inhibit generalization #atchat

JudithSchoonov1 Apr 13 @ 8:37 PM EDT

@mmatp A4 can't say how r district resolve conflicts, but increased focus on core vocab isn't always agreed with. Language vs label #ATchat

spaul6414 Apr 13 @ 8:37 PM EDT

@mmatp @RhianonElan @deTechtive1 Sounds like fun! I might join you on this. #atchat

gallianstone Apr 13 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@bwwojci B/c it tends to promote prompt dependency.... I told you I needed more characters. More than enough reasons. #atchat

bwwojci Apr 13 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@darlaashton Agree. DTT is a specific application...ABA is broader...ABA/DTT have also been 'curriculumized' which is weird #atchat

darlaashton Apr 13 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A4: we need better dialogue btwn centers and schools. Better collaboration. Student centered plans. #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:39 PM EDT

DTT/ABA seems more about compliance, than independence. Promotes prompt dependency. AT promote independence. #ATchat

MaegeK Apr 13 @ 8:39 PM EDT

I truly believe my brother with Autism would not be where he is today without ABA. There's just a lot of bad ABA out there. #ATchat

@bwwojci @mmatp There are several blog written by autistic adults who share their perspectives. Eye-opening. #ATchat

gallianstone Apr 13 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@bwwojci seen any of the studies that show that autistic Ss have more trouble generalizing if they master a specific stimulus first? #atchat

bwwojci Apr 13 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@gallianstone Sure...but I would contend the theory of ABA/DTT is sound...however, like any teaching it can be done well or poorly #atchat

A6: top 5 tools that help you do your AT Specialist job better #ATChat

gallianstone Apr 13 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@bwwojci You won't convince me (but I will agree to disagree.) I do suggest you look at Lovas's protocol/beliefs - They're scary! #atchat

deTechtive1 Apr 13 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A6 #atchat LOVE book study. Also maybe post school AT for living and employment? Not my wheelhouse but need more learning.

wernedat Apr 13 @ 8:49 PM EDT

#ATchat always need more tools.

@bwwojci @gallianstone Have to admit, social media has expanded my thinking about autism. #ATchat

VickiBostonSLP Apr 13 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A6: tips and tricks for good professional development- beyond Twitter chats, of course #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:51 PM EDT

Q6 follow up: any suggestions for other #ATchat book club books?

darlaashton Apr 13 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A6: always love a chat on AAC. And would love something more specific on autism, maybe just focusing on video modeling? #atchat

deTechtive1 Apr 13 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A7 #atchat TY for doing this and well done.

gallianstone Apr 13 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A6. Thinking about multiple tech level strategies - how can we access at multiple levels, and go between them. #atchat

deTechtive1 Apr 13 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@mmatp #atchat maybe a online vote?

KarenJan - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:53 PM EDT

Video modeling has a great deal of research behind it. How are people using that strategy? #ATchat

bcdtech Apr 13 @ 8:53 PM EDT

I still have ? re reading/writing issues w/Ss with autism- a visual learner, only sight words- no decoding and hates to write.#atchat

krista_bolen Apr 13 @ 8:53 PM EDT

Dropping in at the tail end of #atchat. Look forward to reading the articles about #autism and #ABA . Sorry I missed tonight #targetrun

gallianstone Apr 13 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@bcdtech See that a lot. Wish I had some great insights for you. It's hard. #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@deTechtive1 sure I am all for that. once I get a few suggestions I will put up a poll #ATchat

bcdtech Apr 13 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@gallianstone Shucks- thought for sure there was a magic pill for it. #atchat

MaegeK Apr 13 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@KarenJan @bwwojci @gallianstone I think we have to focus on using AT to increase our SS skills no matter how they are taught. #ATchat

wernedat Apr 13 @ 8:55 PM EDT

@bcdtech something like Inspiration/Kidspiration for brainstorming part of writing since it is visual? #atchat

gallianstone Apr 13 @ 8:55 PM EDT

@MaegeK @KarenJan @bwwojci that we can all agree on! #atchat

JudithSchoonov1 Apr 13 @ 8:55 PM EDT

@mmatp Out of My Mind-the book, not my state of mind this lovely Wednesday evening #ATchat

@mmatp I loved Carly's Voice #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:57 PM EDT

Did you miss something tonight? Don’t worry-we will post the Storify from tonight’s #ATchat tomorrow morning

bcdtech Apr 13 @ 8:57 PM EDT

@wernedat I've tried various graphic organizers- hi/lo tech. Tried voice typing. 3rd gr who has learned to hate written expr. #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:58 PM EDT

Make sure to follow everyone from today’s #atchat Let’s continue to learn and share!

bcdtech Apr 13 @ 8:58 PM EDT

Got to say- using https://t.co/oqgy8uhVlU for chats helps me focus- not looking at 20 other columns and great resource collection. #atchat

MaegeK Apr 13 @ 8:58 PM EDT

@bcdtech Could you try something that would scaffold the expression? Thinking Clicker type supports? #ATchat

bcdtech Apr 13 @ 8:59 PM EDT

@MaegeK Ordered for next year #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Apr 13 @ 8:59 PM EDT

@MaegeK @bcdtech Yes, I've used Clicker Connect for this type of situation. Great scaffolded support. #ATchat

rziolkowski Apr 13 @ 8:59 PM EDT

#atchat Jumped back on at the end. Looks like a lot of great reading to do tonight. Thanks everyone!
