Nicola Duffy is completing a Masters in Letterkenny Institute of Technology and have been funded by the Minister for Children and the National Children’s Strategy to conduct academic research in the area of autism and education. Nicola is currently looking for parents/guardians to partake in this research.
This academic research will lead to the development of an interactive computer program, which will help moderately autistic children to learn daily living skills. This will be a valuable educational tool that can support the daily routine of your child, which can be used at home and at School.
The main objectives of this survey are to:
· To determine the essential daily living skills that autistic children find most difficult to understand and conduct.
· To gain a perspective on current educational programs used to teach skills to autistic children.
· To determine which (if any) elements on these programs distract or help the child to learn.
Your contribution will be invaluable and will greatly help in the development of an Irish-designed educational program. If you would like to receive a free copy of the prototype software please email: Nicola.Duffy@lyit.ie and a link and summary of the findings will be sent to you on completion of this research.
