My ASD students require motivation to continue working hard. There are eight boys in my classroom, with only one iPad. Of course, they all want the iPad for their reward for working hard, and get extremely frustrated when they have to wait. Waiting for a reward is difficult for students on the spectrum. They often become frustrated and have meltdowns because they worked hard, so why can’t they get their chosen reward? Eventually, they will stop working. All students can learn when they have motivation to continue. Having more classroom iPads will create the momentum and motivation required to continue working hard and creating more independent.
