The things I hear about visual schedules and autism always amaze me. I might hear some myths once or twice while others stick around for years. Some teachers don’t think they need to use them for their autistic students, but even some who do can have implicit biases that cause their visual schedules to not be as effective as they should.
So in this episode, I want to set the record straight. If you’re a teacher or someone trying to help others who work with individuals on the spectrum, then these myth busters will help you see how visual schedules can aid your students with autism.
2:52 - Busting myth #1 about high-functioning students with autism
4:27 - The myth that scapegoats visual schedules for the way autistic students behave
5:49 - My counter to myth #3 about dependency on visual schedules
7:14 - The myth I see people embrace most often that drives me nuts
8:43 - Why visual schedules are more than just daily picture schedules
