"Visual Supports in Practice"

This training provides an understanding on how to create and use visuals to better support individuals with autism and related developmental disabilities (DD) by increasing independence, promoting communication, and reducing challenging behaviors in the classroom and at home.  Participants will learn how to teach, “wait”, “help” and how to ask for a “break” using visual supports.  They will also learn about social narratives and other strategies used to explain a given situation and provide strategies to navigate it.  Lastly, we will learn about how to use a countdown timer for successful transitions.
