Adjusted Instructional Sessions
Please download the adjusted instructional sessions at the project's public GitHub repository, and implement them in your classrooms
Work Evaluation Rubrics
These assessments were designed to be aligned with the learning objectives of the corresponding adjusted instructional sessions. The rubrics were designed to assess student achievement in three levels for each item; with physical assistance, with verbal and/or visual cues, and independently.
Reflection Prompts
The reflection prompts are presented in both verbal and visual formats and prepared as separate PDF documents for the classroom teacher to print them for students to reflect on physical papers
Visual Handouts
These are visual guides for students to follow step-by-step toward completing a project or task as part of a session. These are prepared as a standalone PDF document for teachers to print and post on classroom walls and put on student desks.
Instructional Videos
These are developed for students who prefer visual channels for information presentation.
Professional Development Workshops - Accessible Computing
These are weekly professional development workshop videos that cover how to implement an accessible computing curriculum for seventh-grade students with ASD.
