Visual Supports help ALL students to be successful. This presentation looks at using visuals to support reading: research behind using visuals and numerous examples from classrooms where visuals are in place!
11. Evidence-Based Practices
(EBP)
What is a Best Practice for students with
autism can also support students with
language deficits, EL students, our young
students, our tired students, our high
performing students with anxiety, and all
students in our classrooms. An Evidence-
Based Practice is an intervention that is
based in science.

12. Universal Design for Learning
(UDL)
Universal Design for Learning gives all
individuals equal opportunities to learn.
UDL strategies are those that work for
everyone--not a single, one-size-fits-all solution
but rather flexible approaches that can be
customized and adjusted for individual needs.

15. Positive Behavioral Intervention
and Supports (PBIS): Tier 1
We can effectively teach appropriate
behavior to all children. Intervene early. Use
research-based, scientifically validated
interventions to the extent available. The most
important piece of any tiered system (PBIS,
RtI, MTSS) is Tier 1, which lays the
foundation for all students.

16. Brain Research
The more
modalities, the
more connections:
the better the
learning.

19. The procedure is actually quite simple. First you
arrange things into different groups depending on
their makeup. Of course, one pile may be
sufficient depending on how much there is to do.
If you have to go somewhere else due to the lack
of facilities, that is the next step; otherwise you
are pretty well set. It is important not to overdo
any particular endeavor. That is, it is better to do
too few things at once than too many. In the
short run, this may not seem important, but
complications from doing too much can easily
arise. A mistake can be expensive as well.

73. Researchers found that children working in
classrooms with cluttered walls, “were more
distracted, spent more time off-task and
demonstrated smaller learning gains than when
the decorations were removed.”

published in the journal Psychological Science,
May 2014.

vomit visuals all
over your
classroom.

77. Is it cute? Is it crap? Or does it
count?
Visual supports help me teach and build
independence for ALL of my students.
I am cognizant to think about the form and the
function before putting something up.
Things up around the room are referenced by
teacher and students.
78. • Visually organized and simple
• Student ownership
• Student writing and artifacts
• Academically supportive
• Behaviorally supportive
79. And you will see…
It is GREAT for your younger students
It is GREAT for your tired students
It is GREAT for your ENL students
It is GREAT for your students who forget to listen the
first time
It is GREAT for your students who already forgot what
you just said
It is GREAT for your Special Education students
It is GREAT for the beginning of the year
It is GREAT for when coming back from break
It is GREAT for your substitute teachers
