I have a 3 year old with autism. She hit a rough patch and I was hoping for ideas on visual cues to help with transitions. This book was not at all helpful to me as the cues are much better geared to school age kids, even older school age kids in my opinion.

I really enjoy this book. It is very organized but unfortunately it isn't very colorful. There is a lot of helpful information in this book.

This is an excellent resource for those teachers working with students with autism. Visual supports are the best way to help an autistic child. The techniques described really work!!! The colored pictures of the supports were helpful, too!

Experts Marlene J. Cohen and Donna L. Sloan combine their expertise in Visual Supports for People with Autism: A Guide for Parents & Professionals, an educational guide for parents and professionals responsible for instructing children with autism spectrum disorder. Packed with examples and black-and-white photographic illustrations of over 140 visual supports, Visual Supports for People with Autism is an excellent supplementary resource for working on problem learning areas such as language, attention, memory, motivation, sequential skills, or social skills. An excellent, reader-friendly guide featuring reproducible diagrams to facilitate its ideas and concepts for enhancing learning.

I run the [...] website and I am always looking for the best of the best in books and products to recommend to teachers and parents. This book is one of the top on my list. It is practical, easy to read and implement and full of really, really good ideas!!!

This did not include pictures as I was hoping for but the information was excellent.

Excellent book for students with disabilities. This book provides visuals to support learning across school and home settings. This book includes simple visual supports that make a HUGE difference in students ability to understand lessons or learn new skills.
