Description
Many children on the Autism Spectrum struggle with the fine motor and perceptual skills required for handwriting, and the conceptual and language skills required for written composition. An inclusive design framework was used to create an accessible technology, the Power Writer app. This classroom based research examines the effectiveness of self-regulated strategy development and writing support software for supporting the written expression of students on the Autism Spectrum. The findings inform a theory driven methodology for designing educational software for students with diverse needs for scaffolding learning tasks.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
