3. AutismPro
Every 21 minutes is the rate of a new

diagnosis for autism.
Autism is the fast-growing developmental

disorder here in the U.S.
AustismPro is a customizable package of

tools, content, and programming designed to
help school facilities to improve the learning
and help students with autism using effective
technologies.

4. AutismPro continued
Is a web-based package that is divided into two

sections: Workshops and Resources
Workshops is designed for general education

teachers to learn and apply teaching strategies
and instructions that are proved to be effective
when helping students with autism.
Resources gives special education teachers and

staff the access to a database that has more than
5,000 lesson plans, teaching strategies and
behavioral support to help need these students’
needs.

5. Reflective Thoughts on
AutismPro
I think this program is a great way for special

and general education teachers to work with
students who have autism.
This program is about helping teachers to help

students with autism in succeeding in school.
If I have students who have autism in my

classroom, I would gladly use this program to
help me to help my students.

6. Teachers & Technology: June
Weston
Teachers & Technology is a regular column

that reflects on teachers who share
technologies and strategies that have made
positive influences and differences in their
students’ lives.
June Weston is a high school teacher who got

the opportunity to work with a program that is
designed to meet the special education
students’ needs back in 2000.

7. Teachers & Technology: June
Weston continued
June Weston started teaching in1975 and is working

with 9th-12th grades at Westside Alternative School in
Midwest City, OK.
She works with students who have special needs by

using assistive technology and computers.
She also had to find ways to teach all grade and ability

levels in the same room, so she needed a modern one-
room school.
Instead of using books, she uses computers by using a

system called A+nywhere Learning System.
The program that she developed is called Special Needs

Alternative Program (SNAP) has now been around for
seven years now. It supposes to help students to get
back on the right track, both academically and
behaviorally

8. Reflective Thoughts on Teachers &
Technology: June Weston
I really thought that this article was very helpful

for me because of what I went through when I
was in school.
June Weston has really step up to the plate of

helping students in needs and really made a
differences in these students’ lives
I really hope I could be a special education

teacher like her or somewhat like her helping
students who have special needs.

9. Atomic Learning: New Series
Atomic Learning is a provider of Web-based

technology training and support.
Atomic Learning has launched a new series of

online training materials of assistive
technologies used in education by special
education teachers, parents, and other people
involved: “Assistive Technology Collections”.

10. Atomic Learning: New Series
continued
“Assistive Technology Collection” provides

training on assistive devices and specialized
softwares.
The technologies covered all of the softwares

that are being used in classrooms
It’s being offered through a supplemental

subscription of the company’s tutorial library or
as a resource for students, educators, parents,
and organizations.

11. Reflective Thoughts on Atomic
Learning: New Series
This new series is a great way for educators to

learn about the assistive technologies used in
classrooms because some of the students
have disabilities and the teachers need to
learn how to use or how to teach assistive
technologies to those kinds of students.
I would definitely use this for my classroom if I

have any students who have disabilities.

12. Conclusion
In conclusion, all of these three articles had

really opened my eyes to see what’s out there
for these students such as new technology,
software, and techniques of helping and
teaching these kids.
I hope I can take all of these three articles and

implement them into my lesson plans and my
teaching to teach my students when I become
a special education teacher in the future.
