This course will provide participants with an in-depth discussion of visual supports as an evidence-based practice. Focus will be placed on developing understanding around the three different types of visual supports, visual cues, visual schedules, and visual boundaries. Visual supports are instructional strategies found to be effective for all students across all environments. Examples of visual supports will be given with specific emphasis on academic, behavior, and social skill supports. Participants will learn when and how to use visual supports. They will become familiar with the variety of ways in which visual supports can be incorporated into daily activities and recognize how visual supports are currently being used within their own setting.<br />This course is prerequisite for Visual Support: Educating All Students - Application. Participants may also complete this course online, if unable to attend in person, through the AFIRM modules at <span><a href="https://afirm.fpg.unc.edu/afirm-modules">https://afirm.fpg.unc.edu/afirm-modules</a> . To obtain credit for online participation, participants will be asked to turn in a certificate of course completion from AFIRM. This will allow participants to receive credit if working to complete the Para Professional Pathway. This course is 90 minutes long.</span>
