Why Use Visual Supports

Maltby Centre is now offering a series of online workshops for parents and caregivers! These workshops are designed to help parents understand concepts related to Applied Behaviour Analysis, access resources, and increase overall parent capacity. This online workshop is for parents living in Ontario with a valid OAP registration number.

In this workshop participants will receive a short presentation on the use of visual supports to help teach children/youth with ASD, skills, and independence. Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions and participate in group discussion. As part of Foundational Family Services, you may choose to meet for an individual session with a Family Support Coordinator following this presentation to help you apply the content of this workshop to your specific family situation.

As a result of participating in this workshop you 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.
