Symbols at Home
Symbols give a picture clue for words and phrases. They are helpful for children who need support in understanding or remembering what words mean and for children who are bilingual. Using symbols for words and instructions gives a visual prompt alongside spoken word.Symbols help children form links between real objects and words.
Visual Timetable for home
Visual timetables are more than just helping a child understand what is happening next. They help children develop an understanding of how time passes.
Managing behaviour
Holding up a symbol card to reinforce spoken instructions can help children process what is being asked of them.
