Organization Station-- Organizing Picture Icons

Visual Supports are an evidence-based practice for autism and many of the great classrooms we coach have visual supports for every aspect of the school day. With so many visual supports it can be difficult to keep track of every picture icon. Keeping these icons organized is essential to efficient management of visual supports and can be extremely helpful when a specific icon is needed at a moments notice.

Do you have a designated location to put icons that are found throughout the day? This strategy can make it easier to reset visual supports for students because you can quickly find misplaced icons.
