What are Visual Supports?
Visual supports refer to a variety of visual aids and tools that are used to enhance communication, understanding, and learning for young children. These visual supports take advantage of children's visual processing abilities and can include a range of materials and strategies. Visual supports in early education settings serve as valuable tools to enhance communication, learning, behavior management, and overall positive experiences for children, fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment.
What are Social Stories?
Social stories are a type of intervention often used in preschool settings to help children understand and navigate social situations. They were introduced by Carol Gray as a tool for teaching social skills and appropriate behaviors. Social stories use simple and descriptive language to explain social cues, expectations, and appropriate responses in various situations. The specific topics and themes of social stories may vary depending on the needs and interests of the children, as well as their IEP goals.
