A picture is worth a thousand words! This workshop provides practical ideas and strategies to enhance communication interactions for students with intellectual and communicative challenges. Use of visual supports leads to increased student participation and independence. Supports for communication, self-regulation, and classroom participation will be demonstrated.

During the resource development portion of the workshop, participants will have an opportunity to create materials for immediate classroom use.
