Visuals

At Hall School, we believe in a Total Communication Approach. To support this, we use a range of visual resources to help students understand the spoken language and to support students process the world around them.

Below are some visual resources that we practise at Hall School.

 First and Then Boards - these help to prepare students for what is going to happen. 'First and then' boards focus on the smallest period of time for example "first brush your teeth then get changed."

 Visual Timetable: Visual timetables can prepare students for what will happen over a morning, an afternoon, Monday to Friday, a weekend or for a specific time e.g. a holiday.

 Where am I going board: This enables a child/young person/adult to be prepared for a journey. You can use symbols to support or laminate the piece of paper and use it as a white board to write where they are going.

Working Towards Boards - Support students to remain motivated to complete a task by reminding the student of an agreed reward.

All of these can be used and printed at home to use with your child or young person. 

The symbol system we use at Hall School is through Widgit - InPrint. Please find some useful resources following the link.
