New SLT Resources – Using Visual Supports

Our colleagues in SLT have produced some fantastic short videos showing how to use visual supports effectively. There is information about using objects of reference, now next boards, visual timetables, visual routines, and how to use visuals to support attention and listening. Links for the videos have been added to the Professional Learning Framework, under the ‘Targeted – Speech, Language and Communication’ section and can also be accessed using the QR codes below. If you’re thinking of introducing visuals, or wanting to check you’re implementing visuals as effectively as possible, these will be a great starting point.
