Implementing Visual Supports for Middle and High School Students: Day 1

Preparing middle and high school students for an independent, productive life is the ultimate goal of secondary education. Doing this is complicated, particularly when those students have characteristics of a disability. Planning for a high quality and effective program requires an understanding of the manifestations of the disability, planning for a manageable classroom schedule, and effectively using evidence-based practices such as visual supports during instruction and routines. On these two days, spend time learning what works and creating systems that support transition-age students so that you begin the next school year with structures that work.
