]]> This is a question that is asked frequently when behavior intervention leans heavily on a visual component. Why are we emphasizing the use of visual supports, even for students who understand spoken language? Therapeutic intervention for emotionally, behaviorally, or developmentally impacted children should rely heavily on visual communication for several key reasons including; increased sense of stability, activated reward centers, predictability and clear expectations, and a clear path toward student independence.
