About this Event
Half day course
This course is suitable for parents/carers of autistic individuals of all ages and abilities.
What are visual supports? Visual supports can be photographs, objects, symbols or written words. They can be printed or shown on a smartphone, tablet or computer. Visuals can be referred back to as many times as needed, unlike verbal communication which is fleeting.
They provide consistency and can be used in most situations. Visuals supports can help in a range of different areas, including; providing structure and routine, supporting with transitions, motivation, making choices, developing independence, emotional regulation, verbal understanding and expression, interaction and social understanding.
Course aims:
- To develop an awareness of what visual supports are and how they can benefit autistic individuals
- To develop a practical toolkit of visual supports that can be beneficial to your child
- To identify visual supports that can be used to help with challenging situations (e.g. preparing for change, developing independence in daily routines).
