So what is the place of using technology or something like the iPad and computers in children with an autism spectrum disorder? Well, we’re using it for children anyway. It’s a great tool, but there’s a balance that’s important. And for children with an autism spectrum disorder where language and communication is an issue, definitely there’s a place for using technology. But to a point because, for example, something like the PECS system, which is the Picture Exchange Communication system, the iPad is great because, in fact, parents can even have it on the telephones and their Smartphones and use language or pictures for a child to communicate so there’s less frustration and less meltdowns and actual communication back and forth.
