Presented by: Jennifer Fox
My thesis entitled ‘ Teachers perceptions as to how iPad technology can support learners with autism’, explores the attitudes of Primary school teachers who utilise iPad technology to support learners with autism in their classrooms. The study explores the benefits and challenges facing teachers and the areas iPad technology is used. The presentations would highlight the findings of my study which analysed the perceptions of over 32 Irish primary school teachers. It would be of interest to those educators who utilise iPad technology in the classroom and be of particular interest to SEN teachers.
