Thu, 28 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This guide explains how visual supports can make communication easier across home, school, therapy, work, and community routines. It is educational background, not an AAC evaluation, behavior plan, classroom accommodation decision, treatment plan, or substitute for a licensed speech-language pathologist, occupational therapist, teacher, physician, assistive technology team, or qualified local professional.

Visual support is a broad phrase. It can mean a gesture, photograph, object, drawing, schedule, written keyword, choice board, first-then card, map, calendar, communication book, AAC display, or anything else that makes information visible. The point is not decoration. The point is access.
