WHY?

• Using iPads/Interactive Boards in teaching is also a way of delivering information to students with ASD (see also Module 2).
• Videos can be delivered through iPads as a modeling example.
• One study investigated the effectiveness of a video modeling package in teaching Arabic numbers to students with ASD. The results showed that students with ASD were able to identify the numbers and also to comprehend the quantity of each number represented. The learning was also generalized.
