Short Description
Objectives
WP3 aims to develop a practical, inclusive framework and a set of educational tools to support digital literacy and coding education for individuals with autism. The focus is on accessibility, adaptability, and real-world application for both formal and non-formal learning environments.
Pedagogical Framework (O3-A1)
A research-based framework outlining learning objectives, teaching principles (based on UDL), and strategies tailored for autistic learners. Developed with insights from WP2.
Modular Curriculum (O3-A2)
A curriculum covering ICT basics, internet safety, visual programming (e.g., Scratch), and introductory Python. Structured in levels (Intro – Advanced) with clear goals, adaptable lesson plans, and evaluation tools.
Educator Resource Pack (O3-A3)
Practical tools including:
Visual guides and schedules
Lesson plans
Instructional videos
Inclusive classroom strategies
Parent/Caregiver Guide (O3-A4)
A simple guide helping families support their children’s digital learning at home and promote safe technology use.
Micro-credentials & Digital Badges (O3-A5)
A digital certification system to recognize learners’ progress, boost motivation, and provide visible proof of skills.
Methodology
Co-designed with educators, experts, and autistic individuals.
Materials piloted and refined using feedback from partner countries.
All outputs designed with accessibility in mind (visual, cognitive, and sensory needs considered).
Expected Outcomes
A flexible and inclusive teaching framework
Ready-to-use curriculum and educational tools
Open-access resources for teachers, families, and learners
Scalable micro-credentialing system
