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 and Visual Timetables - Both of these help to prepare students for what is going to happen. 'First and then' boards focus on the smallest period of time. 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.

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

Choice Boards - Support a student to communicate their preference. The choice can be between a preferred and a non-preferred item, two or more objects/activities that the student can have/do.
