Welcome to AIM

The Autism Internet Modules were developed with one aim in mind: to make comprehensive, up-to-date, and usable information on autism accessible and applicable to educators, other professionals, and families who support individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Written by experts from across the U.S., all online modules are free, and are designed to promote understanding of, respect for, and equality of persons with ASD.

Computer-Aided Instruction

Computer-aided instruction (CAI) is focused on the use of computers to teach academic skills as well as to promote communication and language development and skills. This module will provide information on computer-aided instruction.

Visual Supports

Research has shown that individuals with ASD demonstrate strength in visual learning. Visual supports organize a sequence of events, enhancing the student's ability to understand, anticipate, and participate in those events. This module will define visual supports and provide specific examples of their use.

Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS)

According to the developers of PECS, it is a behaviorally based intervention that teaches the learner to use visual-graphic symbols to communicate with others (Bondy & Frost, 1994; Frost & Bondy, 2002). This module will provide information on this augmentative and alternative communication system.

Differential Reinforcement

Differential reinforcement of other behaviors (DRO) means that reinforcement is provided for desired behaviors, while inappropriate behaviors are ignored. This module will provide information on differential reinforcement.
