Abstract

In this article, we examine the multimodal, digital autobiography of Cindy, an eight-year-old student with autism. We first describe the process we went through with Cindy to make her video in an inclusive, general education classroom setting. Then we examine the different modes through which Cindy made meaning in her video, focusing on the ways she used images, sound, titles, and video within the video. We then discuss the ways Cindy exploited certain affordances of multimodality, such as overcoming blocks to verbal communication by recording and editing voiceovers. Finally, we sketch some lessons teachers and researchers might learn from Cindy in terms of working with children with autism in general education language arts classes and in terms of working with all children from an assets-based approach.
