Who Can Benefit from Visual Aids?
Visuals can be especially advantageous for children who:
- Frequently ask about upcoming activities
- Find it challenging to follow verbal instructions
- Need encouragement to foster independence
- Experience difficulty transitioning between tasks

The Importance of Visual Aids
Using visuals helps children gain a sense of control and stability, significantly reducing anxiety. Visuals serve as effective communication tools because they:

- Facilitate navigation between different environments
