Benefits of Visual Systems

Research shows that visual supports, in the form of a drawing, picture, written words, lists, or even objects, are effective methods of communication. This is especially true for people on the autism spectrum. Visual instruction and stimulation is paramount in bridging any communication gaps and provides students with an adapted method of learning and executing to the fullest.

Packs include small visuals with hook-and-loop fasteners on back for use with included exercise schedules, first-then sequential activity boards, and countdown boards. Hold or post large visuals for the entire class to reference and clearly communicate an adapted activity. All visuals and boards provide structure, communicate expectations, and signify time passing.
