For people who use activity schedules or the picture exchange system, each box is a separate card. As the step is completed, the card is removed from the schedule board and placed in the "finished" slot. This same sequence could be used as a "recipe" for someone with a traumatic brain injury or who has had a stroke. Many people benefit from visual reminders of how to do day-to-day tasks. These visual tools give parents and professionals the tools they need to promote independent living skills in countless situations. |
Visual Foods is a good tool for working with more than people with disabilities including the elderly, people who have had strokes, and people who have traumatic brian injuries to name just a few. It is also a useful tool for Food Service Managers who want to provide visual cues on their menus for patients or in School Cafeterias.
Use your imagination - the possibilities are endless!
