Visual Aids for students with Autism
As a future Special Educator, I am interested in Autism students and how can I get into their minds in order to teach them.
Based on research, it is known that children who are autistic learn better using images and visual aids. Therefore, with this website I can find some sources to use with Autistic children.
In this website, it is explained some of the most common sources that can help students understand the procedures and rules inside the classroom.
Autistic children need more visual aids than the other students, therefore, with K-3 Special Education students, teachers can use these pictures and their students will understand the directions better than if they are only mentioned verbally.
Besides, the daily routine can be explained easily with these picture posted in the classroom and with small versions hanging them in our badge if needed.
In this image it teaches students when hearing the word no and understanding when it's appropriate to touch and not to touch things. When a child see this picture they will understand why they can't touch, it also keeps the child safe.
In this picture it shows children different ways to communicate and how they can use their words when asking different questions. I find this website very useful for teachers to use in the classrooms and even with children that don't have a disability.
