• VizZle is designed to capitalize on students with autism spectrum disorders stronger visual processing skills for interpreting visually based information (Althaus, de Sonneville, Minderaa, Hensen & Til, 1996; Mottron, Burack, Stauder & Robaey, 1999; Shah & Frith, 1993; Thaut, 1987).
• VizZle also takes advantage of the child with ASD’s inherent interest in multimedia (Shane & Albert, 2008).
“Ubiquitous use of individualized, meaningful, visual supports for organization, expression and instruction is very effective with this population. Presenting those supports interactively on a computer or interactive whiteboard makes them even more effective.”
-- Dr. Howard Shane
