Visual supports are an essential tool for supporting all children. These visual aids help children process information more easily and provide clear, concrete reminders of routines, expectations, and tasks. By presenting information visually, we reduce the need for verbal instructions and help children feel more confident, focused, and independent in their daily activities.
Examples of Visuals:
✔️ Visual Timetables
✔️ Choice Boards
✔️ First-Then Boards
✔️ Emotional Regulation Charts
✔️ Communication Boards
Benefits of Visuals:
✔️ Enhances Understanding
✔️ Encourages Independence
✔️ Supports Emotional Regulation
✔️ Improves Classroom Management
