Designing Visual Tools and Lessons:

• Are you short on time and equipment to make visual tools for your child, students, or adults you support?
• Are you tired of waiting for school personnel to find the time to make the visual tools your child needs to be successful at home and in the community?
• Do you know what you want to design but are short on thime to create it?
• Would your parent benefit from some color coded visual tools to remember how to work the VCR, DVD player, or remember what days to pay bills?
• Are you frustrated waiting for others to help you make what you need?

If so, Joan can help!

Creating visual materials for school or home is time consuming and requires specific programs and tools. Whether for home, school, hospital, nursing home, visual modifications are often helpful. Joan will work with you to create the visual tool your child needs to be successful using current best practices and techniques. Joan will work with you until you have a tool, lesson, or communication board that meets your needs.

This is an individualized service designed with specific goals in mind. The following is a sample list and there are many ideas not listed here. The best tool for your child may not have been developed yet.

Buy a gift certificate for your child's teacher, or a friend, or someone you care about for customized visual tools made by Joan.

Examples of visual tools and materials include:

• Visual schedules and symbol cards
• Lesson adaptations
• Communication boards
• Communication “menus” or choice wheels
• Snack Choice Menus
• Pre-teaching stories
