Any visual display that supports the learner engaging in a desired behavior or skills independent of prompts that are paired with, or used in place of, a verbal cue to provide the learner with information about a routine, activity, behavioral expectation, or skill demonstration.
What are visual supports?

Data that is collected to determine how often (frequency) and for how long (duration) the behavior occurs before beginning an intervention

Three categories of Visual Supports
What are Visual Boundaries, Visual Cues and Visual Schedules?
200
A tally or count of behaviors as they occur. This type of recording is used when it is important to know the number of times a behavior occurs. This type of recording is best for behaviors with a distinct beginning and end.
What is event recording?

What are visual boundaries?
300
A tally or count of behaviors as they occur during a specific or designated period of time. This type of recording is used when it is important to know the frequency of a behavior. This type of recording is best for behaviors with a distinct beginning and end.

Visual instruction, graphic organizer, choice boards and labels (e.g., emotion ring, visual support for a specific activity such as snack time or recess)
What are visual cues?
400
This type of recording is used when it is important to know how long a behavior occurs either to target an increase or decrease in behavior. This type of recording can be used when a behavior occurs at high rates. the behavior is measured from the moment of onset until the moment it stops.
What is duration recording?
400
A process in which an activity or behavior is divided into small, manageable steps in order to assess and teach the skill.
What is task analysis?

CAPTAIN
What is the acronym for California Autism Professional Training and Information Network?
500
Refers to the number of individuals who are living with ASD in a given time period.
What is prevalence?
500
Increase frequency of smooth transitions; Decrease amount of time to transition; Increase predictability; Reduce inappropriate behaviors associated with a task or transition; Increase independence; Minimize teacher and adult support (e.g. prompts and reinforcement) Increase understanding of expected task or activity to complete
What are some goals that can be addressed with visual supports?
500
This type of recording is used to measure the presence or absence of a behavior within specific time intervals. The observation period is divided into equal time periods such as 5 minute intervals.
What is interval recording?
500
A visual model of the targeted behavior or skill (typically in the behavior, communication, play, or social domains), provided via video recording and display equipment to assist learning in or engaging in a desired behavior or skill
