Summary
"This book offers a practical approach for staff and carers who want to develop the use of ICT for children on the autistic spectrum, or for a wider range of pupils with language and communication difficulties. It combines descriptions of current research and literature on the subject of autism and ICT with practical guidance on software and hardware. A practical approach encourages experimentation, values the skills and attributes that participants bring and minimises the technical barrier to ICT use."--BOOK JACKET
