Roses and Thorns: The Impact of COVID-19 on Learning for a Student with Autism Spectrum Disorder

• In Event: TED- Teacher Perspectives on Emergent Issues & Technology (h)

Short Description

In this session, we share the experiences of a parent of a student with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who switched to emergency remote teaching (Hodges et al, 2020). We will discuss how technology has reshaped education services during the pandemic and how this transition impacted a student with ASD. We will also discuss our emergent themes of routines and roles, instruction, social interactions, benefits and challenges with the transition to online learning.
