Visual Support for Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders

With hundreds of colorful illustrations and step-by-step directions, this book lays the foundation for how to structure teaching environments using two evidence-based practices- visual support and structure. These strategies not only help individuals on the autism spectrum function more successfully during their day by building skills and creating order, they also facilitate language skills and help manage behavior.

This comprehensive resource offers countless examples of activities for students, ranging from basic skills, to reading and math, to social behavior and more, through sorting, matching, assembling, disassembling, etc.

Combining their years of experience working with individuals on the autism spectrum, both here and around the world, authors Vera Bernard-Opitz and Anne Häußler bring teachers and other professionals practical ideas and teaching methods for offering visual supports to students with autism spectrum disorders and other visual learners.
