Visual Support (VS). EBP Brief Packet
Sam, A.
National Professional Development Center on Autism Spectrum Disorders
Visual supports are concrete cues that are paired with, or used in place of, a verbal cue to provide the learner with information about a routine, activity, behavioral expectation, or skill demonstration. Visual supports might include: "pictures," "written words," "objects," "arrangement of the environment," "visual boundaries," "schedules," "maps," "labels," "organization systems," "timelines," and "scripts." Individual types of visual supports might not have been shown to be as effective for learners with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). For example, graphic organizers do not have as strong of evidence-base as individual visual schedules. The various types of visual supports can be divided into three categories: visual boundaries, visual cues, and visual schedules. This evidence-based practice (EBP) overview on Visual Support (VS) includes the following packet components: (1) Overview; (2) Evidence-base; (3) Step-by-Step Guide; (4) Implementation Checklist; (5) Data Collection Sheets; (6) Tip Sheet for Professionals; (7) Parent Guide; (8) Additional Resources; (9) CEC Standards; and (10) Module References.
