Summary of Article 3:

In this article, the writers provide information on how technology can provide great help as
speech generating devices for individuals with developmental disabilities. They provided an agenda for
future investigations into how devices “such as tablets and portable multimedia players can be made to
provide assistance for people with autism spectrum disorder.” Through observation, it became aware
that the people using the devices increased their vocabulary faster than the individuals that did not have
access to help from technology. The participants that didn’t use the devices used picture exchange or
manual sign language instead. The writers also added that the participants preferred using the devices.

Article 3 Summary:

This article helps bring to light the lack of knowledge that college kids have when it comes to
physical activity. The authors start by explaining that sixty percent of college kids are not aware that an
adult should exercise at a moderate level five times a week. There is an overall lack of exercise from
college students, but the authors point out that most students are involved in other activities that can
be very time consuming. The authors argue that physical activity can correlate towards academic
performance. Multiple studies were conducted that tested the correlation between total time of
exercise per week and the students’ mean grade point average. The results suggested “that colleges and
universities should focus on providing aerobic exercise for students.” The authors are in favor of schools
implementing some sort of fitness program for students, and they believe it will carry over into their
lives past college. They believe that this could help decrease the obesity rate in the United States.
