Visual supports are often used as a tool to support students; however the use of the supports is often misunderstood and overused. edWeb community, Teaching Students with Autism, held a webinar to clarify misconceptions and introduce strategies for using visual supports for students with autism, including shared readings, supported or adapted texts, and so much more!
