Visuals
At St Helen's Visual practices look like:
- Executive Functioning focus on Chikondi the Giraffe
- Use diagrams, flowcharts, concept maps, and illustrations to explain key concepts
- Combine text with visuals to reinforce understanding (dual coding)
- Encourage pupils to create their own visuals to represent ideas or processes
- Use timelines, pictures, or manipulatives to organise information
- Highlight key information with colour, symbols, or visual cues
- Use of widgets, makaton and colourful semantics
- Integrate visuals into lessons, tasks, and assessments to support learning
- Use displays to demonstrate visual representations
