Many pupils with autism have sensory processing issues and can get easily overwhelmed by technology. Incorporating sensory breaks throughout the day can help your pupils recharge and reduce sensory overload.
Encourage your pupils to step away from their devices, get them to move, stretch and rest their eyes.
Adjusting your pupils device settings can help reduce the risk of tech fatigue. Help your pupils to adjust the brightness and colour temperature of their screen to reduce eye strain, and try enabling the "do not disturb" mode to minimise distractions.
By taking these simple but effective steps you can help to avoid tech fatigue and optimise your pupil's learning experience. Remember to also communicate with parents and other support staff to ensure consistent strategies are being implemented across all settings.
