About

This Technology Integration mind map template, created by Lori Burnham for MEDT 3401 in Spring 2011, maps out a SWOT analysis framework specifically for integrating technology in autism therapy. It covers 53 nodes across 10 branches, including 'Top 5 Tools' like video modeling and play therapy, 'Assistive Technology Tools' such as Dynavox & other AAC devices, and 'Essential Conditions I Can Influence' like client-centered therapy. The template also includes 'My Strengths' (Self Motivated, Determined, Ambitious) and 'My Weaknesses' (Lack of experience lowers my self confidence, Perfectionistic), making it a practical cheat sheet for clinicians and educators. Organized as a radial mind map, it visually balances internal factors (strengths, weaknesses) with external opportunities and threats, offering a structured yet customizable planning tool.
