Students who have cognitive disabilities, autism, and/or multiple disabilities often have difficulty with self-management and personal organization. Visual supports, such as picture schedules and activity sequences, can help these students become more organized. It can help reduce anxiety that students with disabilities face when they are transitioning from one activity to another. Here are some apps that provide visual support for students!:
- iPrompt (HandHold Adaptive): has picture based prompts that have been configured by teachers and parents to help students stay on task and transition between activities.
- iCommunicate (Grembe): can create picture schedules and provide the option to record messages linked to each picture.
- Picture Planner (Cognitopia): students can construct personalized picture schedules for themselves on a computer and then use the schedules either in a printed version or on mobile devices.
