Children with learning and behavior problems often have difficulty getting through their day, to a great extent because they have difficulty organizing themselves and understanding the organization of the environment around them. Neurotypical children and adults organize themselves in many ways by using calendars, planners, lists, and so forth. Children with disabilities need these organizational tools too, but they require support in developing and using them. Visual support techniques will make the day more organized and therefore more predictable for students with disabilities, thereby reducing their frustration of not knowing what is going to happen, reducing anxiety about not knowing what is expected, and promoting student independence.
