Special Education: Visual Supports for Autism Kim Myers M.S. CCC-SLP Alyce Weimken M.S. CCC-SLP

Autism…Defined O Autism is one of a group of serious developmental problems called autism spectrum disorders (ASD) that appear in early childhood usually before age 3. Though symptoms and severity vary, all autism disorders affect a child's ability to communicate and interact with others. O Children who present with autism spectrum disorder are often visual learners.

Visual Supports O Visual/written Schedules: Using visual schedules help support children with autism to efficiently communicate information that allows children to better predict and plan within their environment. They also help with changes in routine. O Visual schedules facilitate communication and therefore may minimize behavioral problems. O Visual schedules help to increase independence and on-task behavior

Visual Supports Cont. O Pairing a visual with the verbal will increase comprehension O By simply pointing to a visual support (i.e., task analysis) instead of offering a verbal direction, you are lessoning the dependence the child has on you to complete the task O Must be individualized to meet his or her skill level, interest, and age

Visuals: Examples O Visual recipes O Sequence of activities: Getting ready for bed, brushing teeth, washing hands, etc. O Written rules for playing games O Writing out questions or directions O First…then schedule O Video modeling O Motivational Systems (e.g., PEGS/STAR Chart) O Visual Activity Schedules
