One of the Nine Critical Communication Skills created by the developers of PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) is following a visual schedule. This invaluable tool is perfect for use at home, school, and in the community, helping learners with Autism, ASD, speech and language delays, or those receiving special education services. By visually representing the sequence of upcoming activities and opportunities and allowing them to make their own choices, learners become happier, calmer, and less anxious.
The 40” x 6” Visual Schedule, made of a safe, durable poly-plastic material is suitable for anyone who needs support, enabling them to understand and follow their daily routines with ease. With this user-friendly tool, individuals can grasp the flow of events, reducing confusion and anxiety, and promoting independence and self-regulation. Enhance your learner’s communication skills and create a structured environment that fosters learning and growth with the Visual Schedule.
