Resource Description
Photographs, checklists, cartoons, flowcharts and stick figures are commonly used as teaching tools for individuals on the spectrum who tend to think and learn visually - but the type of visual chosen for a particular individual matters. This companion to Learning With a Visual Brain in an Auditory World helps parents, educators and therapists understand how to match the developmental level of visual aids to the developmental level of the person looking at the visual. The proper choice of visuals is critical, as it enhances the development of language for children with autism spectrum disorders. Drawing from decades of experience working with children on the spectrum, the authors also show how effective communication can help reduce the confusion and anxiety that can lead to meltdowns. 199pp
