Teaching Writing and Reading to Children with Autism

摘要

This paper describes the teaching of children with autism spectrum disorder. It compares the classic way of teaching to an innovative approach. The authors describe teaching, writing, and reading connected to mathematics and computers science. In our lessons we use natural materials like a sand, traditional textbooks but also modern ICT approaches supported by tablet, interactive board and computer software. It shows that very easy activities such as manipulation with objects or playing with natural materials are needed at the beginning. But at the same time, we prove that using technical equipment has a great impact on communication. The intuitive way of using the modern electronic support helps students to communicate with the surroundings.
