Visual supports provide a visual reference point that can be used as often as needed, and support the communication process.
Visual supports can help people on the autism spectrum with their skill development and increase independence.
We have an online learning module on Visual Supports. It takes forty-five minutes to complete, and can be found in our Online Learning Hub.
