Share this back-to-school tip from AAPC author Jamie Bleiweiss for a chance to win the AAPC book "The ASD Nest Model: A Framework for Inclusive Education for Higher Functioning Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders": Daily class schedules Visual supports, such as daily schedules, are powerful and highly effective tools that help make the environment more predictable and less overwhelming for students with ASD. Schedules comprised of pictures and written text, as appropriate, should depict the flow of the day’s activities and should be referenced after each activity to clarify what will come next and assist students with the transition to the upcoming activity. In the short term, schedules can help structure and organize the student’s day, enabling them to see the various activities that make up their day. In the long term, using visual schedules can help students develop independence and self-monitoring skills.
