The purpose of the Autism at-aGlance series is to provide a current summary of topics relevant to high school students with ASD as well as practical tips and resources for school and community personnel and family members.  \nThis Autism at-a-Glance was designed to support highschool staff and family members in promoting independence in daily living skills for adolescents and young adults on the autism spectrum.  \nM any teens with autism love to use technology and are using  \na variety of everyday technologies such as smartphones,  \ntablets, laptops, and desktop computers for entertainment and for schoolwork. These devices can also be powerful tools to increase independence, something that teens need to be working on as they prepare for adulthood. (Hedges, Odom, Hume, & Sam, 2018)  \nExamples of Technology Use to Promote Independence  \nHere are some tips for ways teens can use technology at home, school, and in the community to be more independent. Initially, it may take some practice to get used to some of these functions, but once they are learned, they can soon become a regular part of everyday life. If needed, a reward system may help to get things going.  \nHome  \nSam’s mom used to wake him up every morning so he wouldn’t be late for school, but after trying the alarm function under the clock icon on his smartphone, Sam had no problem getting himself up and ready for school.  \n• Wake up in the morning by using the alarm on the clock function on a smartphone, iPod touch or tablet device.  \nIncreasing  \nIndependence  \n[Image Credit: Pixabay.com](Image Credit: Pixabay.com)  \n• Select clothes to wear by checking the weather to know what to wear. There are many weatherrelated apps including ones that make suggestions for the type of clothing for the particular weather forecast that day.  \n• Keep track of tasks by creating checklists of things to do (list of chores to do on Saturday, or list of groceries to find at the store) . There are a variety of checklist apps including specific ones for groceries.  \n• Remember to complete tasks like homework or walking the dog by setting a reminder alarm on a smartphone.  \n• Communicate by texting with parents at work when a student arrives home from school, or with teacher when having difficulty with an assignment.  \n• Increase social interactions by following friends on social media or joining an online community engaged in a special interest such as gaming, fiction writing, art, anime, astronomy, etc. The possibilities are endless.  \nSchool  \nAisha is a good student but some days she would forget to do her homework, and this was hurting her grades. Her resource teacher taught her how to put daily alerts into her smartphone, so she was reminded every afternoon at 4pm to check her planner.  \n• Keep track of homework assignments in a smartphone by adding them in the calendar section with an alert to remember to complete them at home. You can also write them in the Notes application on a phone or tablet, or you can  \ntake a picture of the assignments on the board. There are also a host of homework apps to help with keeping track of assignments.  \n• Work on homework assignments in one place where they can be found easily. Google Docs or other free online word processors make it simple. Google Docs and many of these tools save things automatically so no more “dog ate my homework”excuses.
