All Things Sensory by Harkla

#390 - Using Visual Supports for Sensory Regulation


Listen Later

Visual supports can be a game-changer for kids at home, in the classroom, and in therapy. From calendars and visual timers to emotion charts and AAC devices, these tools provide structure, reduce anxiety, and build independence.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The different types of visual supports and schedules you can use

  • How visuals help with transitions, routines, and emotional regulation

  • Creative ways to use timers, checklists, and visual cues in daily life

  • Why consistency and modeling matter when introducing visuals

  • Our favorite programs and tools for teaching kids about emotions and self-regulation

Thanks for listening đŸ©· Share this with another parent or therapist who could use more tools for smoother transitions and calmer routines!
