While teenagers can seem unpredictable or emotional, their behaviours are deeply rooted in the natural changes happening during this time.

Understanding Visual Supports: Practical Tools to Assist Children with Autism

By Parentshop Staff•November 3, 2024

For children on the autism spectrum, processing verbal information alone can often be challenging. Visual supports offer a powerful way to bridge this gap, making communication more accessible and environments more predictable. By incorporating images, schedules, or symbols into a child’s daily routines, child and family specialists can help parents and educators unlock new ways of engagement that encourage independence and reduce anxiety.
