Autism Services – Why Use Visual Supports

As part of foundational family services, you may choose to meet for an individual session with a family support coordinator after attending a workshop, to help you apply the workshop content to your specific family situation.

In this workshop, participants will receive a short presentation on the use of visual support to help teach children/youth with ASD, skills and independence. Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions and participate in group discussions.

As a result of participating in this workshop, you will be able to:

• Describe what visual supports are.
• Explain why visual supports can help your child/youth learn new skills or develop independence.
• Identify how to use visual supports to aid in your child/youth’s development.
