This presentation offers backgrounds, insights, ideas, and examples of how visuals can support successful communication and behavioural supports for children in your classrooms. Topics will include what visuals are, how visuals can be used, when and where visuals may be worth the effort. Visuals can be a key in helping children communicate verbally, help understand instructions, and build independence. We will work with you on creating key visuals to use in your classroom, and teach you skills on how to create any visual you may find useful in the future. This lifelong skill will help you maintain consistency throughout settings for your child, while augmenting their communication. Participants will leave with increased confidence in the value and use of visuals to support effective communication.
