Children with learning difficulties benefit from having a visual to support the spoken word. 

Some children have spoken language supported by photographs of the real object / place.  For example, they are shown a photograph of soft play before being taken there.  For others a symbol or drawing will support their understanding.

As with all of our communication support approaches the level of visuals will be personalised to the individual.  Some children will be shown a single visual prompt, others will have a now/next board and others may have a timetable for the day showing them what will happen.
