ICT SUPPORTED APPROACHES TO AUTISM

2011

Abstract

Autism is a disorder that affects human skills and behaviour essentially. The use of ICT can support education and rehabilitation of people with autism and also teachers, parents and social workers benefit from using ICT. ICT and particularly the Internet support the creation of Virtual Communities of Practice (VCoPs) as a promising approach for learning, housing reviews of research evidence and engaging persons working in the ASD field to share practical knowledge and to make practical innovations. In this paper we present aspects of training and cooperation for people with autism particularly by using ICT and VCoPs and give an example of a successful project.
