Summary:
Most of us rely on visual supports in our daily lives and may not even realize it. Roadmaps, calendars, and to-do lists are just a few commonly used examples. For children and adults with autism, visual supports -- any pictorial, graphic, or scheduling aid -- are important teaching tools because they allow users to learn concepts that are otherwise difficult to master due to weaknesses in auditory and verbal processing. Written by two certified behavior analysts, Visual Supports for People with Autism offers a complete, easy-to-understand guide to using these aids for teaching academic, daily living, and self-help skills.
