The MOOC (Massive Open Online course) ‘SMART-ASD: Matching Autistic People with Technology Resources is once again live and free of charge, this time with an additional version in Mandarin.
The course explores how new apps can best support autistic children, with or without learning difficulties. It serves as a platform equipping carers and practitioners with skills and new ideas to support young people on the spectrum. It also introduces parents and teachers to the free ‘SMART-ASD’ app that helps assess the needs of autistic children and to identify the most suitable technology to assist their individual requirements.
The course has been developed by the University of Bath and the principal lecturer is Pr Mark Brosnan.
