The digital age has provided parents, educators, and paraprofessionals with more tools to support learners than ever before. This session will run through the basics of setting up iPads in group settings as well as the home and provide attendees with insights into applications (Apps) that can be used to support children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Examples of how iPads are being used in classrooms, homes, and treatment centers will be used to illustrate how this valuable tool can be added to your repertoire. Applications to address communication, executive functioning, social skills, self-regulation and academic performance will be highlighted.

Rachel Elliott is a teacher with the Calgary Board of Education. She currently teaches in the Autism Spectrum Cluster Program at R.T. Alderman School. Rachel enjoys the daily challenges this position provides and revels in the constant professional learning it provides. Her goal in this program is to support students in inclusive learning settings. In 2012 Rachel completed her Master’s of Education in Technology where she focused her studies on how educators use technology to support exceptional learners, especially those with Autism Spectrum Disorders. In her spare time Rachel enjoys spending time with her dogs, knitting, and training for her second Ride to Conquer Cancer.
