✨ Why OTs Use Visual Resources for Autism Support ✨
Visual supports are powerful tools in occupational therapy. They give both kids and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) clear, consistent information to help navigate daily life.
🔹 Reduce Anxiety – visuals make expectations predictable, lowering stress.
🔹 Support Communication – they provide an alternative way to understand and express needs.
🔹 Build Independence – step-by-step visuals guide routines like getting ready, cooking, or transitioning between tasks.
🔹 Strengthen Learning – pairing words with pictures makes information easier to process and remember.
Whether it’s a visual schedule, social story, or step card, these tools empower individuals to feel more confident and capable in their daily activities
👩⚕️ OTs use visuals not just to teach skills, but to create environments where people with ASD can thrive.
