Visual Schedules and Autism Ranking: Insufficient/Mixed evidence

History

According to Knight et al (2015), visual schedules were developed as one of the components of the TEACCH model.

“Originating from the Treatment and Education of Autistic and Communications-Handicapped Children (TEACCH) model, VAS [visual schedules] are part of an overarching category known as visual supports. Visual supports include visually-enhanced physical environments, organization of materials (e.g., shoe box tasks), instructions (e.g., picture instructions, graphic organizers, structured worksheets) and instructional techniques (e.g., color highlighting, Comic strip conversations), as well as visual cues to support receptive and expressive communication (e.g., TEACCH and PECS).”
