All of us rely on visual supports--road maps and to-do lists, for example. But children and adults with autism find visual supports especially useful. Pictures, graphics, and scheduling aids help them master tasks and concepts that would otherwise be difficult.

Here is a complete guide to using visual supports to teach academic, daily living, and self-help skills to people on the autism spectrum. This book presents more than 140 low-tech, easy-to-use visual supports, with lots of photos and examples. You'll find schedules, calendars, charts, checklists, color coding strategies, flip books, graphic organizers, photo boards, scripts, social stories, and much more. This book is great.

"...tons of concrete examples... indispensable tools to increase students' understanding and ability to follow school and home routines and challenges."
