Brought to you by the Delaware Network for Excellence in Autism (DNEA), this training video provides an introduction to visual supports. It is designed to support professionals and family members in identifying four different types of visual supports that can be used to support individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).  In the video, we define when and how each visual support should be used to support an individual.  We also discuss how to plan, implement, and monitor the use of visual supports across multiple settings.  We recommend this video for a more in-depth review of visual supports, in conjunction with our related visual supports tutorial and resource guides.
