Creative people develop many ways to use visual cues to help Autistic students 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.
