How Technology Supports Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder

How Technology Supports Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Jese Duran, director at Sunshine Learning Center, discusses the ways technology supports individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The center uses a range of tech devices, from sensory devices to AAC iPad communication devices, to help children with ASD learn and communicate. Tech tools like video modeling and sensory devices can improve social skills and build rapport with children on the spectrum. However, it’s important to balance the use of technology with face-to-face interactions and more traditional approaches to therapy. The center aims to provide a naturalistic and play-based way of teaching while utilizing technology for educational purposes.
