"The research literature reported in this review supports the use of technology in interventions and instruction for adolescent students [on the autism spectrum].... Technology has been used to provide models or prompts to engage in the behaviors being learned, to provide performance feedback or self-monitoring, to systematically teach skills or concepts through software presented on traditional desktop computers, and in one case to generate speech on iPod technology" (p. 3816).
