Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders

Many individuals living with autism and other related neurodevelopmental disorders learn, structure their lives, and even in some cases, communicate most effectively through visual channels.

Visual supports are one of many tools that support individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Visuals provide support and increase an understanding of language. They provide structure that makes life more predictable by remaining static or fixed thereby mitigating anxiety and frustration. They also define and organize the environment and surrounding expectations.
