Visual Learning: Facilitating Skill Acquisition Using Visual Methods Individuals with ASD tend to have good visual skills, which often are in contrast to their communication and social challenges (DiCriscio & Trojani, 2017). Visual supports for both simple and complex teaching targets will help the student make meaningful progress. The TEACCH Program. Visual supports have been a core feature of the TEACCH program (Treatment and Education for Autistic and related Communication Handicapped Children; Schopler & Mesibov, 1994) since its inception. Children learn in an environment with clear expectations as well as obvious spatial and temporal structures. Independent task performance is a very early teaching target. Learning situations are simplified by pictures, symbols and word cards and distinct task setups (Bernard-Opitz & Häussler, 2010). Visual supports show where a task begins, how to do it, when the task is completed and what happens after the task (Aspy & Grossman, 2011; Häussler, Happel, Tuckermann, Altgassen, & Adl-Amini, 2003; Mesibov & Howley, 2003). In addition, picture schedules and augmentative communication such as the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS; Alsayedhassan, Banda, & Griffin-Shirley, 2016; Frost & Bondy, 2002; Tien, 2008) are now a core part of many ASD programs. Activity schedules. Activity schedules can be compared to a shopping or “to-do” list (Brodhead, Higbee, Pollard, Akers, & Gerencser, 2014; McClannahan & Krantz, 1999). They are sets of pictures or words that show a sequence of activities. For young children with ASD, activity schedules often show which activities, tasks or games have to be done in what sequence (Knight, Sartini, & Spriggs, 2015). At a later stage, schedules can also be completed or written by the child. In the TEACCH program, even individuals with severe disabilities have learned to be independent through simple routines and activity schedules (Mesibov, Shea, & Schopler, 2004: Knight et al., 2015).
