Do visual supports work?
Studies have shown positive outcomes, particularly in helping children follow directions and cope with switching from one activity to another. Visual supports are useful as part of broader therapies or programs focusing on children’s development and education.

Who practises this method?
Anyone can make visual schedules. The technique doesn’t need any training or qualifications. If you’re interested, it might help to talk with your child’s speech pathologist, occupational therapist or psychologist about visual schedules for your child’s particular needs.
If your child attends an early childhood intervention service or a specialist school, the staff there might also use visual schedules.
Parent education, training, support and involvement
You can be involved in constructing schedules for your child and using the schedules at home or in the community.

Visual supports can be very helpful in helping learners with a range of additional support needs. They support communication and can be used in various environments and locations and in many situations. For some autistic learners they are a vital communication support. It is helpful to have consistency at home and in the early years setting/school.🎒

Visual supports can be presented in a variety of ways and using a variety of content. For example they can be created very easily with:
Drawings, Photographs, including photographs of objects and rooms/areas the autistic learner uses, Symbols, Clip art, Objects and Written word.😎

Inside the My Communication Book there are many cards!😁

We can say that they are the main tools for communication!😍

We remind you that in addition to the cards included in the book, you find in digital format extensions with numerous other cards with all the useful categories! Pets, object, food, drink and more!

How to Use?🤔
There are no specific steps involved in providing environmental supports to children with AU. Nevertheless, generally, when providing environmental supports, first evaluate the child’s strengths, interests, goals, and learning style and identify challenges that need to be addressed

When to Use?👨‍👩‍👦
Visual schedules can be used at home and at school.

Who are visual supports for?👈
This approach is for autistic children, but many other children can benefit from visual supports too.

What are visual supports used for?😁
Visual supports and strategies are used to help autistic children improve their skills in processing information, understanding and using language, and understanding and interacting with their physical and social environments.

What are visual supports?

Visual supports, visual strategies and visual cues are general terms for tools that present information using symbols, photographs, written words and objects 🤩

One of the most common visual supports is a visual schedule, sometimes called a picture schedule. This is a set of pictures that show activities or steps in specific activities. For example, a visual schedule can show all the activities in a single day, or all the steps involved in a specific activity like eating a meal.

Were you aware of this?

Soon there will be news and many surprises to explain you how to use the book😁

For our children it is often difficult to identify words with the corresponding objects.😔

A useful exercise in fact is to visualize a card with an object and make it memorize through practice.☺

Thanks to this, the child will be easier to associate the word to the meaning.😃
