Characteristics
David is diagnosed with non-verbal
autism, although he is able to read on a third grade level.
David has neat
handwriting and able to take notes when they are displayed via power point or
smart board. He will even raise his hand saying “stop” or “wait” if he misses
notes.
He enjoys working in groups. His
classmates will usually prompt him to “draw or color letters”.
He is not afraid to speak in front of
class and will present when words are prompted one at a time.
Barrier

He has difficulty comprehending material
presented.
When given an assignment like a
worksheet, he needs intense prompting to answer questions.
Inability to answer questions because of
non-verbal diagnosis.
Barrier
Solutions
There are various modes of assistive
technology I would use to break down the barriers faced by this student. They are: Ipad for speaking, smart board for interactive
responses and presentation
of class notes with blanks for him to fill in some of the notes. Using assistive Technology within the UDL framework will create a successful learning environment for students.
