Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Visual supports help children and youth with autism, Asperger Syndrome and other special needs understand their world better and therefore help them function more independently. This invaluable resource goes beyond the familiar use of visual supports as schedules with children with disabilities to include information sharers, checklists/organizers, and visual behavior supports. Richly illustrated and user-friendly, the book provides parents with all the information they need to make effective visual supports specifically designed for their child using a variety of materials, many of them commonly found around the house. The book also takes into considersation that parents are usually stressed for time and therefore need effective solutions that don't require excessive time to prepare or implement.

I enjoyed the book a quick read with many simple easy ideas. I also
used www.joeschedule.com to create a lot of the visual strategies the author suggests. I recommend the book and http://www.joeschedule.com

This is a small (33 page) ring bound book. It briefly touches on a number of circumstances (common one for children)that might benefit from visual communication offerings. The latter can be diagrams, drawings, or pictures that help the child manage their daily schedule. The idea is that the visual 'artwork' represents the rules for a particular set of circumstances. A wide variety of formats are mentioned and there are abundant pictures which may stir and inspire parents. For most readers that will be enough to justify purchasing the book.
My main reservations about the book are that the outlined methodology is so broad as to make it impossible to separate effective from less effective representational modes. The test-retest reliability question, hanging over all these type of intervention programmes, is never addressed. For instance the authors never explore the results of the use of the Picture Exchange Communication System. On a related point, the authors don't connect their strategies with general speech and language therapy approaches. These are moot points but ones that have to be acknowledged as autism intervention programmes try to formalise their methodologies.

This wonderful book is jam-packed with ideas. It complements the video on visuals by Jennifer Savner. Together (or separately) they are winners!

This video shows how visuals can work with children. I learned more in 20 minutes watching this video than I did in trying reading a thick book!

This book is fabulous. It is written for parents and teachers who have little time to read, but who need visual supports for their children. The ideas are practical and easy to implement. In addition, it is priced right!
