Participants will learn how visuals can be used to help support communication skills.

During this workshop, participants will engage in hands-on activities to describe objects and to retell a personal event or activity.

Learner Outcomes: Participants will be able to name 2 visual tools to expand communication skills and demonstrate how to use visual supports with students of different communication skills.
