About my Project and Presentation

There is a direct link between technology and the increase of expressive language skills for students with autism. Technological devices such as IPod Touch, DVD players, as well as computers and programs have shown strong indicators for increasing expressive language skills. Various types of technology as viable instructional methods for students with autism can and will help students use words in daily living. Research has shown that individuals may respond more to technology as a beginning means for communication until the verbal skills are established. This presentation also investigated the importance of technology as a means of language acquisition for students. It is vital for students with Autism to be able to express their wants and needs with words or pictures. Students and teachers as well as parents and caregivers will all enjoy the benefits of expressive language.


I have narrowed my search and concluded that SDE= Staff Development for Educators was the best choice. It offers a chance to publish if you are a presenter through their own books. I also like that at this conference there are vendors that could endorse or even have products that would support my presentation.
