Teaching History to Kids with Autistic Spectrum Disorders with Educational Technology
According to recent data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, it is estimated that 1 in 68 children in the United States are afflicted with an autism spectrum disorder, spanning all income classes and ethnicity and the majority of them are male. In the past educational needs were met with special education teachers providing one on one instruction with specialized techniques. Autism effects the senses in terms of over-reactors and under-reactors of the senses. What this equates to is that the processing of senses, touch, taste, smelling, and feeling is distorted (Magnusen, 2005, p. 1).

A skilled instructor can assist a student with gaining increased interest with regards to new words and comprehending their implications. As a child develops these skills can move from strengthening understanding of social interactions to unfamiliar subjects in terms of reading, spelling, and vocabulary with the application of historical events and times. Real time photography education starts out on a social level is best utilized at two important time frames, before an event occurs and after the event has happened. “The most effective use of real-time photography occurs when scripts, stories and social stories are written in conjunction with them (when used in small groups)” (Magnusen, 2005, p. 94). This can help a student to remember the timeframes at which the event occurred, for example a holiday or …show more content…
This helps students to condense and hypothesize about subject material or familiarities (Beal, Bolick, Martorella, & Martorella, 2009, p. 149).
Other Formats of Historical Education One of the uses in robotics like NAO is that the robot can interact through the use of songs for instance, with younger students’ nursery rhymes are used. However, a robot could be programed for advanced students with the same intention of relating suitable gestures and feelings. The robot encourages the student to sing along with them and imitate the gestures, and then uses compliments when the song is completed.
Songs that should be used would introduce key vocabulary or phrases and asked them to repeat the words, a robot that utilizes this in conjunction with storytelling on the history and origins of a certain song would be an ideal methodology for students who interact with this AI interface. They could learn the history of music and culture that would also enhance communication
