Has anyone ever used a smartphone for sharing routine scripts, social stories or rule books since everyone seems to have one and information can easily be sent to other phones or tablets?
Answer
When using smartphones and tablets to share and store scripts and rule books, unless you only have the stories, routine scripts and rule books on the tablets and/or smartphones, children are distracted by all of the games and fun things that are on there too. Oftentimes, it becomes a battle. When you are teaching routine scripts and rule books, you want a distraction free environment for the child. I would say with caution, you could use these devices. It is an area that I am still exploring, but I am finding that it is more problematic for children because presumably they have been given free reign with using those devices in the past and if we try to use them in a very focused manner it can be quite challenging.
