Special Education and Autism Visual Aids: Classroom Starter Pack

Twenty-four visual aids that can be used to support your special education students during any setting or subject. Using visuals, particularly with students with autism is a best practice and can increase independence, decrease transition difficulties, increase positive behaviors, provide clear expectations and increase motivation among others. We cannot eliminate the visual stimuli our students experience, but we can limit the auditory clutter by using these visuals! Savings Alert! This is part of a larger bundle.

You should not print the comprehensive file that includes the notes, photo instructions and printables unless you're choosing specific pages. The photo instructions are clearest with a solid black background and you will use an insane amount of ink if you print them. Just look at those pages on your computer.   This download is a zip file for ease of organization. Please note: This is a digital download.  You will download, print, and prep as needed. No physical items will be sent to you.
