How can you help children with moderate to severe autism become more effective communicators? Discover the Visual Immersion System (VIS), a practical, research-based intervention framework that taps into the strong visual processing skills many children on the spectrum have. You'll learn how to use readily available resources--from photos and symbols to apps and software--to create a customized system of visual supports that boost seven key communicative functions (see sidebar). For each of the functions, you'll get comprehensive how-to guidance on choosing tools and materials, conducting systematic instruction, collecting data, and assessing how well interventions are working. A must for SLPs, interventionists, and educators, the innovative VIS approach will ensure better communication and higher quality of life for children with autism.

WHY THE VIS WORKS:

  • Uses visual supports, an approach that's proven successful for children with autism
  • Strengthens communication skills needed for learning and meaningful human interaction
  • Builds on evidence-based assessment and intervention procedures developed over decades at Boston Children's Hospital
  • Incorporates a wide range of low-tech and higher-tech options
  • Flexible--can be used in home, school, or community settings
  • Provides clear, easy-to-use instructions on conducting interventions
  • Includes guidance on generalizing new communication skills
