Visual Supports for Visual Thinkers:
Practical Ideas for Students with Autism and Other Special Educational Needs
Visual supports have been proven to be a highly effective way to communicate with, and teach, a student with an autism spectrum disorder or other learning difficulty.
This book is packed with simple, effective tools to assist in the education of students with special education needs. They can be adapted to be used with young children and older learners with a range of educational needs, including nonverbal learners. Based on the author's years of teaching experience, the book covers how the classroom environment is laid out, how to use schedules and time planning aids, different education approaches and the teaching of social rules and appropriate behavior. All the visual supports are clearly explained alongside examples and photos showing them in use in the classroom. The supports are also included with the accompanying online downloadable content as blank templates.
This will be a welcome resource of easy-to-use ideas for mainstream and special education teachers. Therapists, parents and anyone working with students with learning difficulties will also find many of the ideas useful.

Embracing Autism:
The Preschool Years
The e-book Embracing Autism: The Preschool Years | Building Positive Behaviors at School with Visual Supports embraces the fundamental principles of Applied Behavior Analysis or ABA to address challenging behaviors. Decades of research point to the promise of focusing on antecedents to prevent challenging behaviors from interfering with all aspects of a child’s development. Educators can support children through a variety of antecedent-based interventions that decrease stress and increase success through behavioral momentum. While it may take time, the gains of teaching desired behaviors, practicing and reinforcing those behaviors consistently is priceless.
Detailed in this e-book are multiple evidence-based strategies and visual tools that clarify expectations, increase communication, and build the executive functioning skills of self-regulation, memory, attention, and organization in young children. Educators have the great opportunity to teach these executive functioning skills that continue to develop throughout adulthood impacting behavioral, academic, and social emotional areas that serve as a foundation for lifelong success.
