Understanding the Andragogical Learning Experiences of High School Students With Severe Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to explore the virtual learning experiences of high school students with severe autism spectrum disorder (ASD) during the COVID-19 pandemic-mandated stay-at-home order. This research seeks to strengthen the existing literature regarding best practices for andragogical learning for students with ASD. The COVID-19 pandemic presented unique learning challenges for students with severe ASD, including limited ability to meet individualized educational program (IEP) goals and access to essential services. This chapter illuminates the connection between suboptimal virtual learning practices for high school students with severe ASD and declines in mental health and both developmental and educational outcomes. As virtual learning is increasingly utilized and embedded into andragogical education, centering the experiences of students with severe ASD is essential. With this in mind, the chapter conveys the vision necessary for improving the best practices for virtual learning for students with severe ASD.
