 37th Annual Autism Conference

About the Digitability Presentation

In our technology-driven society, how can we shape student interests into marketable skills while developing their social and emotional capacity for independence?

As attendees and participants learned on Friday, October 18th at the 37th Annual Autism Conference, the employment landscape for individuals with autism and other cognitive disabilities is changing. In Digitability CEO Michele McKeone's interactive workshop, she modeled the best evidence-based practices and other methods of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) embedded in Digitability that help prepare students with autism and other cognitive disabilities for the workplace. By modeling and using the Digitability Classroom Social Economy participation dollars, Michele was able to help participants and attendees understand the foundational practice of establishing student motivation, which ultimately helps students develop self-awareness and appropriate workplace behavior.

Below, you will find the promised resources, including the 'What is the Internet?' Lesson Plan, the Public vs. Private Social Game, and a Digitability Overview.
