Teaching STEM (including Coding and Robotics) to Students with ASD
February 5, 2019 |2:30 – 4:00 | Neville Scarfe Room 278 (Library Block)
Vicki Knight, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of ECPS
This presentation will articulate the rationale for including students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) curricula and contexts. Dr. Knight will focus on her innovative research in this area to support this rationale, especially in the areas of coding and robotics. In addition, she will discuss methods she has used internationally to train professionals to promote content-based learning for all students in the classroom.
