Personalized visual supports for neurodiverse learners

An illustration of a young girl with curly hair sitting at a desk in a classroom. She is focusing on drawing or coloring on a piece of paper, surrounded by school supplies like pencils and a cup for pens. In the background, there are bookshelves, a clock on the wall, and natural light coming through a window. The text next to her reads, "What Are Transitions? At school, transitions are times when we move from one activity to another. They help us get ready for changes in our day."An illustration of a young girl with curly hair sitting at a desk in a classroom.

Student-centric social narratives

Develop narratives that help kids connect with concepts like personal space, unexpected transitions, and managing impulses. When kids see themselves in the story, understanding and engagement follow.

See sample story
Mobile app screen for “ella” showing a Stories creator for “Allie,” with fields for topic and visual style and a Create button, plus a preview illustration of a worried girl and an adult talking beside a “Feelings” chart. Story slide showing an animated classroom scene: a girl with glasses looks anxious while holding a pencil, a classmate calls “ALLIE!” in a speech bubble, and text on the right reads “Feeling Overwhelmed” with a short description about feeling upset when people call her name.
Screenshot of a checklist titled “Allie’s End of Day Pick-Up Steps,” showing three illustrated classroom steps with checkboxes: 1) “Pack my backpack with my things” (checked), 2) “Put on my jacket if needed,” and 3) “Wait in my classroom until my name is called.”

Custom visual schedules

Design daily routines kids can follow independently, with each step tied to their specific activities and interests.

Personalized boards

Reinforce vocabulary, concepts, and expectations with picture cards built around your learner — not generic images.

Infographic titled “Ways People Can Get My Attention” showing six illustrated panels of a girl writing or reading while others approach her. Each panel demonstrates a strategy: gentle tap on shoulder, wave hand in sight, patient waiting, soft calm voice, give time to finish, and ask if ready to talk. Speech bubbles include “Excuse me, Allie.” and “Allie, when you’re ready.”See sample picture cards
Poster titled “Calm Choices” with the subtitle “I can choose what helps my body feel ready.” It shows four calming options in a 2-by-2 grid: Breathing, Quiet space, Movement break, and Water break, each with a simple illustration.

Posters that encourage independence

Put a concept, rule, or strategy somewhere kids can see it and act on it without being prompted. Printable and ready to hang in the classroom.

Video clips that model skills in action

Watching a behavior demonstrated is often easier to understand than reading about it. Short clips show tasks, routines, and expectations clearly.

Animated girl with red glasses stands in a bedroom holding a phone that shows a snowflake icon and the words “Cold and windy,” beneath the heading “Check weather and layer clothes.”
