Description

Many students with special needs in our schools rely on visually supported material to help them in the areas of communication, behavior, and academics. In this session I will introduce you to a number of leading software applications that are used in the schools to create visually supported materials. We will have the opportunity to look at software that lets us create visual schedules, communication boards, picture supported writing, social stories, graphic organizers, and mind maps.
