Autism, Learning Styles, and Visual Teaching Methods

  • Gain an understanding of how the use of visuals can support the thinking and learning style of autistic student.
  • Understand how the use of visuals can be generalised across all environments and can build on the learning experience in school, home, and the wider community.
  • Develop practical skills in creating visual supports tailored to individual strengths and needs.
  • Implement visual supports effectively to support autistic learners.
