My students need Galaxy Tablets for technology support and to be able to communicate with others. This will also support the requirements of the new testing for common core. The addition of these tools in our classroom will allow students to better communicate with each other and staff as well as access technology that was previously unavailable. A child with autism typically has severe speech and language disabilities. Undesired behaviors such as screaming, hitting, crying and self-injury typically decrease with the use of an effective, immediate, universal means of communication. The tablets and the software available with apps will provide a universal means of communication. The communication books they now carry have picture icons, oftentimes becoming lost or destroyed. Replacing icons takes a lot of time and resources, delaying the ability of the student to tell us what they need or want. The use of electronic and or picture icons have been effective in developing oral communication skills. The families of my students become ecstatic when their son or daughter is finally able to tell them what they want or how they feel. They no longer have to play 20 questions or see their child tantrum due to their inability to express themselves effectively. The tablets will also be utilized during small group instruction to interact with various apps that will boost their language, communication, reading, math, and science skills.
