Person-focused Request Visuals

Free Visual Support:Person-focused Request Visuals (PDF)

Person-focused Request Visuals are designed to help the child/student focus not just on the object of their interest, but also on the person from whom they are making the request. This support is designed to be customized with a photo of the child’s/student’s communicative partner in the red box of each simple sentence. These sentence strips can then be cut apart and placed on see-through, hard-to-open containers containing the child’s preferred objects. Parents and school staff can reinforce a child’s communicative message and focus on the partner by repeating the message on the sentence strip following the child’s/student’s initiation, bringing the container close to his/her face, and responding consistently to the request. The video tutorial briefly describes the use and individualization of the support.

  • “I have been using the volume meter you shared with us having made some modifications that correspond with my music curriculum. It has been quite successful in the music classroom and the students respond well to the visual. Just wanted to thank you and share some successes.” Kim Oden, Music teacher
