Visual Samples: Using Visual Strategies for Improving Communication & Behavior for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders

Creative people develop many ways to use visual cues to help students with Autism, Asperger's or other communication challenges to participate in their life routines successfully with independence.  This department will showcase a variety of visual tools people have used with individuals at home, in school and in the community.  Visual strategies can be effective communication supports for all ages and all skill levels.

These samples should give you ideas about how to improve communication environments.  You will discover that all the samples are not fancy or pretty or perfect.  But the main point is that they have worked to help individuals get their wants and needs met, to support appropriate behavior or to help individuals develop the social skills to live their lives more independently.

Do you have some visual samples to share?  Send us a sample of your visual tool or a clear photo. Include a brief description of how it was used and the results.  We would love to have you share your experience with others. See submission details.

I use information from Autism Family Online in my practice.  I often tell parents about your website because I know they’ll find reliable information that will give them practical suggestions for helping their children.

Howard Elandt, Psychologist


Your website has been a huge help for me.  My students have very different needs and I have downloaded great pictures to use with them.  The articles have helped me deal with challenging behaviors.

Kim Renshaw, SLP


Autism Family Online helped me so much. As a parent, it empowers me to find information that I can really use.  I printed some choice board pictures and then used them right away.  My son loved them.
