VISUALS FOR HOME LEARNING
USING VISUALS WITH SCHOOL AGED CHILDREN
Visuals can help school aged children with daily activities, learning behaviour and social skills at school and home.
why are visuals helpful?
- Visuals are permanent, while spoken words last only a few seconds.
- Children can refer back to visuals as often as needed.
- Visuals can show a number of things at a time, such as a number of choices available, or a number of events which will occur, without depending on memory skills.
- Visuals can show the order of events by showing things in a sequence.
- Visuals encourage independence. As children learn to use them they can refer to them without adult support.
- Visuals can help manage behaviour by showing children expectations, rewards and consequences.
- Visuals such as timers can help children understand time in order to encourage persistence and prepare for change.
