项目摘要

Most children with autism find computers and technology safe, motivating and engaging. Technology has the potential to enable learning in new and innovative ways and we are particularly intrigued by how technology can be used to support children with autism to communicate better. This includes ways of improving children's ability to turn take in conversation, to develop conversation skills and to work together with someone else on a tabletop device, or to help them communicate when they cannot talk.In the last few years, members of our project team have worked with children of different ages and in partnership with practitioners and parents in a range of schools to inform the development of technologies that can be used in the classroom. These technologies support children on the autism spectrum to develop social communication. ReacTickles helps children to explore how they use their body, to understand cause and effect and to take turns. COSPATIAL helps children and young people to collaborate with one another and improve their conversation skills and ECHOES helps children to concentrate, to develop joint attention and to regulate emotions.These technologies are now ready to be used more extensively in schools. We want to put children in control of their learning and to investigate how these technologies can become part of the day-to-day practice in classrooms. To that end, we will work closely with children, parents and teachers to explore how ECHOES, COSPATIAL and ReacTickles can make a measurable difference to practice in the classroom to improve the social and communications skills in children who have difficulties in this area. We will also work with teachers and other staff to offer genuine opportunities for professional development.Researchers and teachers will work together in six different schools to identify ways of using these technologies in new and exciting ways. As part of this work in special, specialist and mainstream schools, we will create short and interesting films of the work we do together so that these film clips can inspire other teachers and schools to explore new ways of using technologies to enable learning. We will also launch an online portal where teachers, parents and other schools staff will be able to access resources to help them in their practice. These resources will include an online workshop, guidance documents on how to use the technologies, with suggestions of how to link with the curriculum and with assessment. The online portal will be open to all schools with the aim to inspire, motivate and engage staff in using technology to meet the needs of not only children on the autism spectrum, but all children.

大多数自闭症儿童认为电脑和技术是安全的，有动力和吸引力。技术有可能以新的和创新的方式进行学习，我们特别感兴趣的是如何利用技术来支持自闭症儿童更好地沟通。这包括提高孩子们在谈话中转换话题的能力，发展谈话技能，在桌面设备上与他人合作，或者帮助他们在不能说话时进行交流。我们的项目团队成员与不同年龄的儿童合作，并与一系列学校的从业者和家长合作，为技术的发展提供信息，在教室里使用。这些技术支持自闭症谱系儿童发展社交沟通。ReacTickles帮助孩子们探索他们如何使用自己的身体，了解因果关系，并轮流。COSPATIAL帮助儿童和青少年彼此合作，提高他们的谈话技能，ECHOES帮助儿童集中注意力，培养共同注意力和调节情绪。这些技术现在已经准备好在学校更广泛地使用。我们希望让孩子们控制他们的学习，并调查这些技术如何成为课堂日常实践的一部分。为此，我们将与儿童，家长和教师密切合作，探索ECHOES，COSPATIAL和ReacTickles如何在课堂上进行可衡量的差异，以提高在这方面有困难的儿童的社交和沟通技能。我们还将与教师和其他工作人员合作，为专业发展提供真正的机会。研究人员和教师将在六所不同的学校共同努力，以新的和令人兴奋的方式使用这些技术。作为特殊学校、专业学校和主流学校这项工作的一部分，我们将制作有趣的短片，介绍我们共同开展的工作，以便这些短片能够激励其他教师和学校探索利用技术促进学习的新方法。我们亦会推出一个网上入门网站，让教师、家长及其他学校职员可取得资源，协助他们实践。这些资源将包括一个在线研讨会、关于如何使用这些技术的指导文件，以及如何与课程和评估挂钩的建议。该在线门户网站将向所有学校开放，旨在激励、激励和吸引工作人员使用技术，不仅满足自闭症儿童的需求，而且满足所有儿童的需求。
