This course will provide participants with information and practical strategies in the functional use of visual supports. The focus of this course is in understanding the learning style and needs of the young person with High Functioning Autism and how these can be facilitated via the use of adapted visual strategies. This will assist those working with the young person in the teaching of everyday skills, and to support the transfer of these to increase opportunities for independence.
