Fortunately, a wealth of resources offer options. This fast-paced conference will provide an overview of tech tools and resources to help students with ASD achieve success. Participants will learn about various options readily available as features built into ubiquitous mobile devices.  NOTE: Please be sure to bring devices (tablets and/or laptops and smartphones) for "playtime".
