- Visual
- Predictable
- Language-rich
- Developmentally appropriate
- Scaffolded for learners across all grade bands
Sample tools include:
- Visual Task Cards for routines like “Make the Bed” or “Use Deodorant”
- Interactive Books such as Let’s Brush Our Teeth or Superheroes Wear Clothes
- AAC Core Word Boards specific to daily living topics
- Simple Visual Recipes with step-by-step supports
