Overview
What We Got Right, What We’ve Learned & What Really Makes the Difference
Visual strategies are no longer something new. They have become standard practice for supporting autistic and neurodivergent learners. But have we limited what we think they can do?
Our understanding of these students has changed over the years. We’ve also discovered some important things about how visual strategies can help them succeed. And some of the most important factors may not be what you think.
We’ll revisit the essential foundations and explore beyond the basics to discover how visuals can help teach some of the harder things—the information that is confusing, abstract, unspoken, or difficult to understand.
Whether visual supports are new to you or you’ve been using them for years, this program will give you a fresh look at what visual tools can accomplish.
Course Objectives
- Identify the essentials that make the greatest difference for student success—including some frequently overlooked factors
- Explore how ‘capture the moment’ opportunities can turn challenging situations into valuable learning experiences
- Discover new ways to use visuals as lifelong tools to teach confusing, abstract, and difficult-to-understand information
Who Can Benefit?
Teachers, speech-language pathologists, therapists, special education professionals, and others who support autistic and neurodivergent individuals from preschool through adulthood.
