Overcoming difficulties with written expression for students on the autism spectrum
Doctor of Philosophy, Queensland University of Technology
2019
Abstract
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.
